Basic operations
Preventing ESD. A direct electrostatic discharge can damage the instrument input. To learn how to avoid this damage, read the
following information.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a concern when handling any electronic equipment. The instrument is designed with robust ESD
protection, however it is still possible that large discharges of static electricity directly into the signal input may damage the
instrument. To avoid damage to the instrument, use the following techniques to prevent electrostatic discharge to the instrument.
1. Discharge the static voltage from your
body by wearing a grounded antistatic
wrist strap while connecting and
disconnecting cables and TekConnect
adapters. The instrument provides a front
panel connection for this purpose.
