2. A cable that is left unconnected on a
bench, or carried across a room, can
develop a large static charge. Discharge
the static voltage from all cables before
connecting them to the instrument or
device under test by momentarily
grounding the center conductor of the
cable, or by connecting a 50 Ω
termination to one end, before attaching
the cable to the instrument.
