This is how you use the two tone oscillator:

Hello,
Also, once the boards are stuffed and the techs are not handling sensitive
components the ESD risk is greatly reduced. Once a device in soldered in the

the ESD problems.
However, some devices will work
The key to being ESD-safe is there being a conductive path between the pins

That's not always true when the parts are mounted on the pc boards.
