7. Use Ground and probe compensation connectors to provide a ground connector to help reduce electrostatic damage (ESD) and adjust
the high-frequency response of a passive probe. The Ground and Probe Compensation connectors are located at the lower right side
of the instrument, near the front panel.
8. USB ports are located at the lower right corner of the front panel and on the rear panel. Connect USB flash drives to which you can
save or recall data (such as instrument software updates, waveforms, settings, and screen captures) or connect peripheral devices
such as a mouse or keyboard.
9. Use the Probe connectors to connect T
ekVPI+ and TekVPI measurement probes, BNC passive probes, the P6316 Logic Probe, and
BNC cables.
