 +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 to create a loopback circuit.  Check the input probe's attenuation factor, as it will be used later to set up the software.
 +
 +**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. No more than one ground should be connected, in order to avoid the creation of ground loops, which may damage your device.//
 +
 +**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 by the scope. For example, using 1 MHz probes will limit the bandwidth to 1 MHz, even if that is below the Test and Measurement device's specified maximum.//

 Immediately next to the Single button are a set of options that can be used to configure oscilloscope triggers. When taking repeated measurements, the plot pane stays centered on these trigger events. As seen above, when the Single button is pressed, a set of data centered on the next trigger event is captured and plotted. Immediately next to the Single button are a set of options that can be used to configure oscilloscope triggers.
