Probe Grounding
When making any measurement, use the probe ground connector to
form the basic two-terminal connection to the device under test.
CAUTION. The ground lead is rated at 1 kV maximum. Make sure the
ground lead does not contact the probe tip or a high-voltage point on
the circuit under test.
