RIGOL Power-on Inspection When the oscilloscope is energized, press the power key at the lower-left corner of the front panel to turn on the oscilloscope. During the start-up process, the oscilloscope performs a series of self-test items and you can hear the sound of relay switching.
RIGOL To Connect the Probe RIGOL provides passive probes for the DS2000 series oscilloscopes. For detailed technical information of the probes, please refer to corresponding Probe User’s Guide. The following are the probes recommended for use with this oscilloscope. Model...
RIGOL Function Inspection 1. Press Storage Default to restore the oscilloscope to its default configuration. 2. Connect the earth alligator clip of the probe to the “Ground Terminal” under the probe compensation signal output terminal. 3. Use the probe to connect the input terminal of CH1 of the oscilloscope and the “Compensation Signal Output Terminal”...
RIGOL Probe Compensation When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes to match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or poorly compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy and error. The probe compensation procedures are as follows: 1.

RIGOL 4. Trigger Out The oscilloscope can output a signal that can reflect the current capture rate of the oscilloscope at each trigger via this interface. 5. Lock Hole You can lock the instrument to a fixed location using the security lock (please buy it yourself) via the lock hole.
RIGOL Front Panel Function Overview VERTICAL CH1, CH2: analog input channels. The two channels are marked by different colors which are also used to mark both the waveforms on the screen and the channel input connectors. Press any key to open the corresponding channel menu and press again to turn off the channel.
RIGOL HORIZONTAL MENU: press this key to open the horizontal control menu under which to turn on or off the delayed sweep function, switch between different time base modes, switch between “Coarse” and “Fine” adjustment of scale as well as modify the horizontal reference setting.
RIGOL TRIGGER MODE: press this key to switch the trigger mode to Auto, Normal or Single and the corresponding state backlight of the current trigger mode would be illuminated. TRIGGER LEVEL: modify the trigger level. Turn clockwise to increase the level and turn counterclockwise to reduce the level.
RIGOL CLEAR Press this key to clear all the waveforms on the screen. If the oscilloscope is in “RUN” state, new waveforms will still be displayed. RUN/STOP Press this key to set the state of the oscilloscope to “RUN” or “STOP”.
RIGOL Knob Adjust waveform brightness: In non-menu-operation mode (menu is hidden), turn this knob to adjust the brightness of waveform display. The adjustable range is from 0% to 100%. Turn clockwise to increase the brightness and counterclockwise to reduce. Press down this knob to reset the brightness to 50%.
RIGOL MENU Measure: press this key to open the measurement setting menu. You can set the measurement setting, all measure, statistic function etc. Press MENU at the left of the screen to open the measurement menus of 22 waveform parameters. Then, press down the corresponding menu softkey to quickly realize one-key measurement and the measurement result will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
RIGOL Record Stop Play/Pause Record Record: press this key to start recording the waveform. The backlight is illuminated in red. Besides, when record constant on (Open) is enabled, the backlight will also be illuminated. Play/Pause: in stop or pause state, press this key to play back the waveform and press again to pause the play.
RIGOL User Interface DS2000 provides 8.0 inches, WVGA (800*480) 160,000 color TFT LCD.
