Noise shield
Use a noise shield (see following figure) to prevent unwanted signals from being introduced into the
test circuit. Low-level signals may benefit from effective shielding. The metal noise shield surrounds
the test circuit and should be connected to LO, as shown.
Connect the enclosure of all metal test fixtures to protective earth (safety ground). See your
specific test fixture for information. Nonconductive test fixtures must be rated to double the
maximum capability of the test equipment in the system.
