To avoid crosstalk on the digital inputs when probing signals with very fast edges, always take

extra care to:

• Keep leads carrying fast signals separate from other input leads.

• Keep leads carrying fast signals as close as possible to the ground leads.

• Connect all four black ground leads to the ground of the circuit under test.
