As a broadband instrument, the oscilloscope is more sensitive to static electricity than spectrum analyzers, network analyzers and other instruments. Therefore, engineers need to pay careful attention when operating the oscilloscope to avoid unpredictable damage to the equipment! Here are 4 dangerous behaviors that are often overlooked but happen every day in the laboratory: 1. Front-end electrostatic discharge (ESD) 2. Cable discharge 3. Improper probe connection 4. Use of inappropriate adapters, extension cords or power strips
