To optimize your comfort and productivity, it is important that you set up your
work area correctly and use your Infiniium oscilloscope properly. With that in mind,
we have developed some setup and use recommendations for you to follow based
on established ergonomic principles.
Improper and prolonged use of keyboards and input devices are among those
tasks that have been associated with repetitive strain injury (RSI) to soft tissues in
the hands and arms. If you experience discomfort or pain while using the
oscilloscope, discontinue use immediately and consult your physician as soon as
possible. For more information on RSI, read the “About Repetitive Strain Injury”
section, next.
Please study the recommendations offered here in this chapter. Included are
references to relevant parts of international standards, regulations, and guidelines,
such as ISO 9241 and the European Community Display Screen Equipment
directive. You may also consult your employer’s human resources department or
other relevant departments for guidance specific to your company.
