Risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the electronic components of the
instrument and the device under test (DUT). ESD is most likely to occur
when you connect or disconnect a DUT or test fixture to the instrument's
test ports. To prevent ESD, use a wrist strap and cord and connect yourself
to the ground, or use a conductive floor mat and heel strap combination.
For details, refer to the basic safety instructions delivered as a printed bro-
chure with the instrument.
Risk of instrument damage during operation
An unsuitable operating site or test setup can damage the instrument and
connected devices. Ensure the following operating conditions before you
switch on the instrument:
● The instrument is dry and shows no sign of condensation.
● The instrument is positioned as described in the following sections.
● The ambient temperature does not exceed the range specified in the
data sheet.
● Signal levels at the input connectors are all within the specified ranges.
● Signal outputs are correctly connected and are not overloaded.
EMI impact on measurement results
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) may affect the measurement results.
To suppress generated electromagnetic interference (EMI):
● Use suitable shielded cables of high quality. For example, use double-
shielded RF and LAN cables.
● Always terminate open cable ends.
● Note the EMC classification in the data sheet.
