Anti-Static Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a serious problem; take consistent steps to
eliminate it. This is important whenever using your probe.
– Never touch the tip of the probe. The probe microcircuit is susceptible to
damage by static discharge.
– Eliminate ESD on the body. Wear a ground strap when using the probe.
– Eliminate ESD on the work surface. Use an anti-static bench mat. Never use
the probe near a workbench that is covered by carpet.
Do not introduce ESD into the device under test (DUT) while the probe is in use. If
an unprotected person touches part of the DUT, a static charge could damage the
DUT as well as the probe.
