Powering on and off the oscilloscope
Grounding the oscilloscope is necessary for safety and to take accurate measurements. The oscilloscope must share the
same ground as any circuits that you are testing. You connect the oscilloscope to ground by plugging the three-pronged
power cord into an outlet grounded to earth ground.
To connect the power cord and power on the oscilloscope:
