Single-ended TDR Measurements
CAUTION
The input circuits can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Therefore, avoid applying static discharges to the front-panel input connectors.
Before connecting any coaxial cable to the connectors, momentarily short the
center and outer conductors of the cable together. Avoid touching the front-
panel input connectors without first touching the frame of the instrument. Be
sure the instrument is properly earth-grounded to prevent buildup of static
charge.
