Electrical channel input circuits and the trigger input circuit can be damaged by
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Therefore, avoid applying static discharges to the
front-panel input connectors. Prior to 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 that the instrument is properly
earth-grounded to prevent buildup of static charge. Wear a wrist-strap or heel-
strap.
Optical channel fiber-optic connectors on plug-in modules are easily damaged
when connected to dirty or damaged cables and accessories. When you use
improper cleaning and handling techniques, you risk expensive instrument
repairs, damaged cables, and compromised measurements. Before you
connect any fiber-optic cable to the N1000A, refer to Connector Care on
page11.
