Alright, having watched that video a couple of times... and read the tektronix paper... I've got a dumb question.
I'm using a rigol ds1074z... I've got a device I'm probing that has 3 ground planes.
1) The first is on the AC side. It is grounded to the chassis. When probing the AC components (not the transformers, just bits on the AC side of the board), grounding my probe to chassis is correct, right?
2) For each of the 2 DC areas of the board, the grounding points are less obvious, but I can find one with my DMM and continuity checks. For these components, I should have the scope probe grounded to the associated ground plane of the area of the board I'm probing, right?
... or have I completely misunderstood this video and paper?
