On the Oscilloscope
Ground the Oscilloscope and Yourself
Before p
ushing the power switch, connect the oscilloscope to an electrically neutral reference point, such as earth ground.
Do this by plugging the three-pronged power cord into an outlet g rounded to earth ground.
Grounding the oscilloscope is necessary for s afety and to take accurate measurements. The oscilloscope needs to share the
same ground as any circuits that you are testing.
If you a
reworkingwithstaticsensitive
components, ground yourself. Static
electricity that builds up on your body
can dam

Wearing a grounding strap safely sends
static charges on your body to earth ground.
