==Common Ground==

Ground (sometimes called neutral or earth) is usually at 0V. Ground acts a reference point for most electronic circuits. It is good practice to connect all ground references to a common point; inversely, it is a very bad practice to leave floating ground points in your circuit. This is important if you are using multiple benchtop instruments simultaneously. For example, the function generator and the oscilloscope should be connected to a common ground in your circuit so that they can produce and display waveforms accurately.

It is good practice to connect all ground references to a common point; inversely, it is a very bad practice to leave floating ground points in your circuit. If you are using multiple benchtop instruments simultaneously such as a DC power supply, signal generator, oscilloscope, and digital multimeter, you should create a common ground between all instruments (and your circuit too) to ensure that you get accurate measurements and don’t have strange circuit behavior.
