Risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to the electronic compo-
nents 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 instru-
ment'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 combi-
nation.
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 cause damage to the instru-
ment and to 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.
