Caution
Exceeding the maximum input overload limits can
damage your instrument.
Before you begin to use your 8062A, it is important to note the maximum
inputs that may be applied to the instrument. Table 2-2 presents the
maximum inputs that are allowed for each function, range, and input
terminal.
Warning
To avoid electrical shock and/or instrument damage, do
not connect the common input terminal to any source
more than 500 volts dc or rms ac above earth ground.
