Powering On the Oscilloscope
Ground the Oscilloscope and Yourself
Before pushing the power switch, connect the oscilloscope to a n electrically neutral reference point , such as earth ground. Do this
by plugging the three-pronged power cord into an outlet grounded to earth g round.
Grounding the oscilloscope is necessary for safety and to take accurate measurements. The oscilloscope needs to sh are the
same ground as any circuits that you are testing.
If you are working with static sensitive
components, ground yourself. S tatic electricity
that builds up on your body can damage
static-sensitive com ponents. Wearing a
grounding strap safely sends static charges on
your body to earth ground.
