Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic Discharge
Although protected internally, Agilent multiport test systems are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Static discharges too small to feel can damage or degrade the test equipment
or your devices.
Use standard precautions to protect against ESD before using the system for calibration or
measurement.
Use the following illustration and list of equipment to set up a static-safe workstation.
