Cleaning Recommendation
4.1 ESD Protection
All the connectors are very sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). When you
connect a device or cable that is not fully discharged to these connectors, you risk
damage to the instrument and expensive instrument repairs.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the circuits of the M8196A. Avoid applying
static discharges to the front-panel connectors. Before connecting any coaxial cable
to the connectors, momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the cable
together. Avoid touching the front-panel connectors without first touching the frame
of the instrument. Be sure the instrument and all connected devices (DUT, etc.) are
properly earth-grounded (to a common ground) to prevent buildup of static charge
and electrical over-stress.
