 +Connect a BNC oscilloscope probe to the Analog Discovery Pro's Oscilloscope Channel 1 connector and the 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.//

 ==== Note: Using Multiple Instruments ==== ==== Note: Using Multiple Instruments ====
 The //Waveform Generator// 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 //Oscilloscope//, all at the same time. More information on how instruments can be operated together can be found in the [[test-and-measurement:guides:waveforms-cross-triggers]] guide. The //Waveform Generator// instrument can be used with other WaveForms instruments.
