Getting started
Since the common (input and output channel c ommon) of the arbitrary function
generator is electrically isolated from the chassis ground (the instrument chassis

between the instrument and other equipment.
All the signal output connectors are connected to the common ground, and the

Do not touch the center of the BNC while the equipment is in use.
CAUTION. The maximum rated voltage between the chassis ground and common
ground is 42 Vp-p (DC + peak AC). When the potential voltage between the
chassis ground and common ground goes over 42 Vp-p, the internal protective
circuit will be activated to protect the circuits. However, higher voltage may c ause
the internal circuits in the instrument to be damaged.
When a potential voltage exists between the chassis ground and common ground,
