Connect to a data recorder
Note: Use a twisted-pair, shielded recorder cable. Use of non-shielded recorder
cable may result in radio wave emission levels greater than is allowed under the
compliance regulations listed.
Note: Connect the shield of the recorder cable to the recording device chassis
ground terminal to decrease the effects of unwanted interferences.
Connect a ¼–inch recorder phone plug to the recorder output jack on the
back of the instrument. Refer to
Figure 2 on page 8. For the best
performance, use a twisted-pair, shielded recorder cable that is no more
than 1.8 m (6 ft) in length with a load impedance greater than 10 kohms.
