Hi,

I think 'Guard channel' and 'Ground' have same electrical potential.

Do they have same electrical potential?

Hi Yuji!

What exactly do you mean by "guard channel"? Do you mean a guard ring used to prevent unwanted currents flowing from/to high impedance inputs, for example?

Hi Dennis

I'm so sorry, I didn't state enough.
I wanted to ask you regarding "CapTIvate".
I understand Guardchannel as a method for moisture mitigation and it is an electrode surround some other button and slider electrodes.

Best regards,
Yuji
