Attach Reference Leads Correctly
NOTE. You must attach the probe reference lead for each channel directly to your
circuit. These attachments are required because the oscilloscope channels are
electrically isolated; they do not share a common connection. Use the shortest
possible reference lead with each probe to maintain good signal fidelity.
The probe reference lead presents a higher capacitive load to the circuit under
test than the probe tip. When taking a floating measurement between two nodes
of a circuit, attach the probe reference lead to the lowest impedance or least
dynamic of the two nodes.
