    Ground the shield of the twisted pair and the shield of the coaxial cable. Unless otherwise noted, ground the LO terminal of the calibrator. As DM3068 is a high-precision measuring instrument, special attention should be paid to the additional error caused by the calibration source and calibration operations. In ideal situation, the accuracy of the verification test and calibration standard source must be at least four times higher than that of the test instrument.
