 **Note:** //Negative pins and grounds should be connected as required by your device. If using an Analog Discovery Studio or Analog Discovery 2, make sure to connect the analog input channel negative pins, labeled “1-” (orange wire with white stripes) and “2-” (blue wire with white stripes) to the ground of the connected circuit. If using an Analog Discovery Pro (ADP3450/ADP3250), connect the BNC cable ground clips to the ground of the circuit you are measuring.// **Note:** //Negative pins and grounds should be connected as required by your device.

-The analog input channels can be used with BNC Cables if supported by your device. For more information, see the [[reference:test-and-measurement:guides:waveforms-oscilloscope]] guide. If 10x attenuation is used with the cables, this value must be entered into the appropriate channel's attenuation field, found in the gear ({{:learn:instrumentation:tutorials:waveforms-buttons:waveforms-gear.png?nolink}}) dropdown, next to the Voltmeter's Start/Stop button.+The analog input channels can be used with BNC Cables if supported by your device.

-The //Voltmeter// instrument can be used with other WaveForms instruments. Using multiple instruments at the same time is helpful in a wide variety of situations. One example would be to use the //Waveform Generator// to stimulate a circuit under test, the //Power Supplies// to provide power to the circuit, and view the response with the //Voltmeter//, all at the same time. More information on how instruments can be operated together can be found in the [[reference:test-and-measurement:guides:waveforms-cross-triggers]] guide.+The //Voltmeter// instrument can be used with other WaveForms instruments.

 It should be noted that the analog input channels cannot be shared by multiple instruments. When the Voltmeter is enabled, any other instruments using the analog input channels are disabled. Other instruments that use the analog input channels include the //Oscilloscope//, //Data Logger//, //Spectrum Analyzer//, //Network Analyzer//, and //Impedance Analyzer//. It should be noted that the analog input channels cannot be shared by multiple instruments.
