Hi all, how does one tell, how not to blow up oscilloscope?
Been reading up on the topic, is it simply if the unit is not connected to mains earth, you can connect the oscilloscope clip to chassis while probing?
I mean if i pull the schematic for a receiver - and there is grounding to the receiver chassis, does that mean i can safely connect probe earth to chassis, without causing any damage to myself, equipment and scope?
Or is there many more nuances involved
