ATTENTION: You should only attempt the procedures
in this chapter if you are qualified to do so and familiar
with solid-state control equipment and the safety
procedures in publication NFPA 70E.

ground it. The oscilloscope chassis can be at a
potentially fatal voltage if you do not properly ground
it. Always connect the oscilloscope chassis to an earth
ground.
