The Care and Handling of Precision
Connectors
C A U T I O N The input circuits can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Therefore,
avoid applying static discharges to the front-panel input connectors. Before
connecting any coaxial cable to the connectors, momentarily short the center
and outer conductors of the cable together. Avoid touching the front-panel
input connectors without first touching the frame of the instrument. Be sure
the instrument is properly earth-grounded to prevent buildup of static charge.
