+ | |||
+ | - Do not measure grounded circuits unless you know what you're doing. That usually means that any AC signal from the wall is a no-no. Our DC supplies and cellphone chargers should be okay. The scope is earth-grounded, | ||
+ | - Do not take the front hook of the oscilloscope probes off. If you need to measure a breadboard, clip onto a small jumper and plug the wire into the breadboard. If you cannot definitively say, "The inductance of this wire is preventing me from properly measuring this waveform", | ||
+ | - Coil up the probes carefully and place them on top of / behind the scope when you're done. They are expensive and delicate precision coaxial cables and should be treated accordingly. | ||
+ | - Turn off the scope when you're done with it. Electronic components have limited lifetime and go out of calibration, | ||
