Using the GN610/GN611 and GN610B/GN611B
WARNING
High bandwidth and measurement cabling
Due to the high bandwidth measurement capabilities of the acquisition card,
combined with the high measurement sensitivity of the card, it is important to
pay close attention to the measurement cabling.
Some advice to prevent measuring unwanted disturbances:
l
Keep measurement cables as short as possible in order to reduce the
reception of environmental disturbances.
l
Use shielded cables. The cable should have the measurement cables
paired inside a shield. Preferably, the shield should be connected to the
chassis of the measurement Genesis High Speed equipment. Alternatively,
the shield could also be connected to the chassis of the object under test.
