5-2.Connecting Input Signals
Grounding
The most reliable signal measurements are made when the oscilloscope and the
unit under test are connected by a common reference (ground lead) in addition
to the signal lead or probe. The ground lead of the probe provides the best
grounding method for signal interconnection and ensures the maximum amount
of signal-lead shielding in the probe cable. A separate ground lead (with a
banana plug) can also be connected from the unit under test to the oscilloscope
ground jack on the front panel.
Probes
A probe provides the most convenient way to connect an input signal to the
oscilloscope. The standard Ч1/Ч10 probes supplied to the oscilloscope are
shielded against electromagnetic interference and have a high input impedance
for low circuit loading.
CAUTION. To get the best waveform precisely, keep
probe ground and signal leads as short as possible.
Misadjust probe compensation can cause measurement error. Check and adjust
probe compensation whenever a probe is moved to a different channel or
oscilloscope. As for the probe compensation adjustment procedure, refer to the
“Probe Compensation”.
Coaxial Cables
Signal input cable can greatly affect the accuracy of a displayed waveform. To
maintain original frequency characteristics of the input signal, use only high-
quality, low-loss coaxial cables. Coaxial cables must be terminated at both ends
in their characteristic impedance to prevent signal reflections within the cable.
Use suitable impedance-matching devices.
