User's Guide
To prevent injury or death, do not use the product or an accessory if it appears to be damaged in any way, and stop
use immediately if you are concerned by any abnormal operations.
If PicoScope detects a signal voltage exceeding the selected
full-scale measurement range, it is indicated on the measurement
display. A red warning icon will appear in the upper left corner and
next to the relevant channel's vertical axis.
In these conditions, displayed waveforms and measurements may
be incorrect and the condition may be hazardous. Select a larger
voltage range to achieve a within-range measurement and if the
condition persists, to prevent injury or death, disable or otherwise
safely disconnect from the source of overvoltage.
To avoid causing permanent damage to the oscilloscope and other connected equipment, do not exceed the
voltage rating of any cable, connector or accessory.
2.3 Grounding
The oscilloscope's ground connection through the USB cable is for measurement purposes only. The oscilloscope
does not have a protective safety ground.
Never connect the ground input (chassis) to any electrical power source. To prevent personal injury or death, use a
voltmeter to check that there is no significant AC or DC voltage between the oscilloscope ground and the point to
which you intend to connect it.
To avoid causing permanent damage to the oscilloscope, the attached computer, and other equipment, never apply
a voltage to the ground input.
To prevent measurement errors caused by poor grounding, always use the high-quality USB cable supplied with the
oscilloscope.
