Ground Lead Length
When you are probing a circuit, always use as short a ground lea d as
possible between the probe head and circuit ground.
The series inductance added by the probe tip and ground lead can
result in a resonant circuit; this circuit may cause parasitic ringing
within the bandwidth of your host instrument. Refer to Figure 6.
