Ground Lead Length
When you are probing a circuit, always use as short a ground lead as
possible between the probe head and circuit ground.
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.
