•
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. Grounding the oscilloscope is necessary to ensure safety and to
take accurate measurements.
•
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.
•
The oscilloscope must share the same ground as any circuits that you plan to test.
