DUT test connections

Hazardous voltages may be present in the test system. To prevent injury or death, remove
power from the instrument or test system and discharge any energy storage components (for
example, capacitors or cables) before changing any connections that might allow contact
with an uninsulated conductor.
On some sensitive or easily damaged devices under test (DUTs), the instrument power-up and
power-down sequence can apply transient signals to the DUT that may affect or damage it. When
testing this type of DUT, do not make final connections to it until the instrument has completed its
power-up sequence and is in a known operating state. When testing this type of DUT, disconnect it
from the instrument before turning the instrument off.
To prevent any human contact with a live conductor, connections to the DUT must be fully insulated
and the final connections to the DUT must only use safety-rated safety-jack-socket connectors that
do not allow bodily contact.
