To construct the test connector (for use with MSO models only)
Keysight 2000/3000 X-Series oscilloscopes that have digital channels enabled 
require the test connector described below. Follow the steps to build the test 
connector.
1 Obtain a BNC connector and an 8-by-2 section of Berg strip. A longer strip can 
be cut to length using wire cutters.
2 On one side of the Berg strip, solder a jumper wire to all of the pins (shown in 
Figure 1 on page 24).
3 On the other side of the Berg strip, solder another jumper wire to all of the pins.
4 Solder the center of the BNC connector to a center pin on one of the rows on 
the Berg strip.
5 Solder the ground tab of the BNC connector to a center pin on the other row on 
the Berg strip.
