Safety grounding
The ground of every product is connected directly to the ground of your computer
through the interconnecting cable supplied. This is done in order to minimize
interference. Therefore, always use the supplied cable to attach the product to your
computer.
As with most oscilloscopes and data acquisition modules, take care to avoid
connecting the ground input of the product to anything which may be at some
voltage other than ground. If in doubt, use a voltmeter to check that there is no
significant AC or DC voltage between the oscilloscope ground and the point to
which you intent to connect it. Failure to check may cause damage to the product
or computer and could cause injury to yourself or others.
With temperature converters, take great care when measuring temperatures near
mains equipment. If a sensor is accidentally connected to mains voltages, you risk
damage to the converter or your computer and your computer chassis may become
live.
You should assume that the product does not have a protective safety earth.
Incorrect configuration or use on voltages outside the maximum input range can be
hazardous.
