connections if correct precautions are not taken. Read all safety
documentation associated with the product before using it.

This symbol indicates that the outer shells of the indicated BNC
connectors are all at the same potential (shorted together). You

potential across the return connections of the indicated BNC
terminals. Such a potential could cause a large current to flow,
resulting in damage to the product or the connected equipment, or
