CAUTION. Do not use a tool (such as a
screwdriver, wrench end, etc) to short the
center conductor to the ground shell on
the connector, as any sort of scratch or
nick may damage the RF response of the
cable.
ESD precautions. To avoid damage to the instrument, observe the following ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions:
■ Before you apply power, connect the instrument to an electrically-neutral reference point, such as earth ground. To do this,
plug the three-pronged power cord into an outlet grounded to earth ground.
■ If you are working with static sensitive components, ground yourself. Static electricity that builds up on your body can
damage static-sensitive components. Wear a wrist strap to safely send static charges on your body to earth ground.
Grounding the oscilloscope is necessary to ensure safety and to take accurate measurements. The oscilloscope must share the
same ground as any circuits that you plan to test.
Observe maximum input voltage. Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid damaging the instrument, observe all rating and
markings on the product. Consult the product manual for further ratings information before making connections to the product.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.
The maximum input voltage for the ATI (Asynchronous Time-Interleaved) input is ±0.75 V
pk
. This is the maximum voltage before
damage occurs.
The maximum input voltage for the TekConnect inputs is ±1.5 V relative to the termination bias (30 mA maximum) on ≤ 1.2 V full
scale settings and 8 V on >1.2 V full scale settings.
