Page 53
RIGOL Key points for FFT Signals that have a DC component or offset can cause incorrect FFT waveform component magnitude values. To minimize the DC component, choose AC Coupling on the source signal. To reduce random noise and aliases components in repetitive or single-shot events, set the oscilloscope acquisition mode to Average.
Page 54
RIGOL 2. Selecting an FFT Window DS1000B series oscilloscope provides four FFT windows. Each window is a trade-off between frequency resolution and amplitude accuracy. It depends on the desired measurement and the source signals characteristics to determine the window to use. Use the following guidelines to select the best window.
Page 55
RIGOL Term Explanations FFT Resolution: The FFT resolution is the quotient between sampling rate and the number of FFT points. With a fixed FFT points, the lower sampling rate, the better the resolution. Nyquist Frequency: The highest frequency that any real-time digitizing oscilloscope can acquire without aliasing.
RIGOL REF Function Reference Waveforms are saved waveforms to be selected for display. The reference function will be available after saving the selected waveform to non-volatile memory. During the actual measurement process, you can use DS1000B series digital oscilloscope to observe the waveforms of correlative components. It will help you to determine the cause of malfunction when you compare the measured waveform with the reference waveform.

Page 65
RIGOL Term Explanations Slow Scan Mode: This mode is available when the horizontal time base is set to 50ms or slower. In this mode, the oscilloscope acquires sufficient data for the left part to the trigger point, then wait for trigger, when trigger occurs, it continue to draw the rest part from the trigger point to the end of the right side.
Page 66
RIGOL Knobs Explanation The horizontal controls change the horizontal scale and position of waveforms. The horizontal center of the screen is the time reference for waveforms. Changing the horizontal scale causes the waveform to be expanded or compressed with respect to the screen center.
RIGOL Delayed Scan The Delayed Scan is a magnified portion of the main waveform window. Use Delayed Scan to locate and horizontally expand part of the main waveform window for a more detailed (higher horizontal resolution) analysis of signal. The Delayed Scan time base setting cannot be set slower than the Main time base setting.
RIGOL X-Y Format This format is useful for studying phase relationships between CH1 and ch2 (CH3 and CH4 can’t be used).CH1 in the horizontal axis(X) and CH2 in the vertical axis(Y), the oscilloscope uses a none-trigger acquisition mode, data is displayed as dots.
RIGOL To Set up the Trigger System The trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to acquire data and display a waveform. When a trigger is set up properly, it can convert unstable displays or blank screens into meaningful waveforms. When the oscilloscope starts to acquire a waveform, it collects enough data so that it can draw the waveform to the left of the trigger point.
RIGOL Edge Trigger An edge trigger determines whether the oscilloscope finds the trigger point on the rising or the falling edge of a signal. Select Edge trigger Mode to trigger on Rising edge, falling edge or rising & falling edge.

RIGOL Trigger Holdoff You can use trigger Holdoff to stabilize a complex waveform, such as a pulse sequence. Holdoff time is the oscilloscope’s waiting period before starting a new trigger. During Holdoff, oscilloscope will not trigger until Holdoff ends. For instance: To trigger on the first pulse on a group of them, users can set the holdoff time to Pulse cluster width.
RIGOL Trigger Terms Explanation 1. Trigger Source: Trigger occurs from several sources: Input channels (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4), AC Line, Ext, Ext/5. CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4: It is the most commonly used trigger source. The channel works when it is selected as a trigger source whatever displayed.
Page 84
RIGOL display becomes stable on the screen. Any factor results in the instability of waveforms can be detected by Auto Trigger, such as the output of Power supply. NOTE: When horizontal control is set under 50 ms/div, Auto mode allows the oscilloscope not to capture trigger signal.
Page 85
RIGOL 5. Adjustable trigger sensitivity To avoid the influence of noise from the physical world, and get the stable trigger, the trigger circuit has adopted Stickiness. In DS1000B series, the stickiness is adjustable from 0.1div-1.0div, which means when it sets to 1.0div; the trigger circuit will not affect any signal with peak-peak amplitude less than 1.0div, so as...

RIGOL Chapter 3 Application Examples Example 1: Taking Simple Measurements The function is used to observe an unknown signal; to display, measure frequency, and peak-to-peak amplitude. 1. To quickly display a signal, please do the steps as follows: (1) Set the probe and the channel attenuations to 10X.
RIGOL Example 2: View a Signal Delay Caused by a Circuit This example is to test the input and output signals of a circuit and observe the signal delay. First, set the probe and the channel attenuation to 10X and connect CH1 probe to the input, CH2 to the output of the circuit.
RIGOL Example 3: Capture a Single-Shot Signal To capture a single event, it needs to gather some pre-test knowledge of the signal in order to set up the trigger level and slope correctly. For example, if the event is derived from TTL logic, a trigger level of 2 volts should work on a rising edge.
RIGOL Example 4: To Reduce the Random Noise on a Signal If the signal is noisy (Figure 3-2), set up the oscilloscope to reduce the noise on the waveform and avoid its interference to the signal. Figure 3-2 Signal with noises 1.
