Unfortunately, for high frequency measurements, this
ground clip can pick-up high frequency noise and
erroneously inject it into the measured output ripple.
The standard evaluation board accommodates a home
made version by providing probe points for both the
input and output supplies and their respective grounds.
This requires the removing of the oscilloscope probe
sheath and ground clip from a standard oscilloscope
probe and wrapping a non-shielded bus wire around the
oscilloscope probe. If there does not happen to be any
non-shielded bus wire immediately available, the leads
from axial resistors will work. By maintaining the shortest
possible ground lengths on the oscilloscope probe, true
ripple measurements can be obtained.
