To construct the test connector (for use with MSO models only)
Agilent 7000 Series Oscilloscopes that have digital channels 
enabled require the test connector described below. Follow the 
steps to build the test connector.
1 Obtain a BNC connector and an 8-by-2 section of Berg strip. 
A longer strip can be cut to length using wire cutters.
2 On one side of the Berg strip, solder a jumper wire to all of 
the pins (shown in Figure 1 on page 27).
3 On the other side of the Berg strip, solder another jumper 
wire to all of the pins.
4 Solder the center of the BNC connector to a center pin on one 
of the rows on the Berg strip.
5 Solder the ground tab of the BNC connector to a center pin 
on the other row on the Berg strip.
