-Connect a BNC oscilloscope probe to the Analog Discovery Pro's Oscilloscope Channel 1 connector and the BNC minigrabbers to the AWG Channel 1 connector on the front of the ADP5250. Connect the opposite ends as pictured, to create a loopback circuit. Also, connect both ground leads together. Check the input probe's attenuation factor, as it will be used later to set up the software.+Connect a BNC oscilloscope probe to the Analog Discovery Pro's Oscilloscope Channel 1 connector and the BNC minigrabbers to the AWG Channel 1 connector on the front of the ADP5250.

-**Note:** //While BNC Probes are single-ended (as is the Waveform Generator hardware), a connected circuit must still share a common ground with the device.//+**Note:** //For this demo, the Scope and AWG ground wires are not connected because they share the same ground. While BNC Probes are single-ended (as is the Waveform Generator hardware), a connected circuit must still share a common ground with the device. No more than one ground should be connected, to avoid the creation of ground loops that may introduce excess noise to measurements.//
  
 **Note:** //When using BNC Probes, make sure to take note of the probes' bandwidth. When probes are used with an oscilloscope, the achievable bandwidth is limited by both the probes and the scope. For example, using 1 MHz probes will limit the bandwidth to 1 MHz, even if it's below the Test and Measurement device's specified maximum. To take full advantage of a probe's bandwidth, the 10X attenuation setting should be used.// **Note:** //When using BNC Probes, make sure to take note of the probes' bandwidth.
