RIGOL Connect the Logic Probe: Connect the single-wire terminal of the logic probe to Digital Channel Interface at the front panel of MSO1000Z in the correct direction. Connect the other terminal of the logic probe to the signal under test.
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” as shown in the figure below. 3. Use the probe to connect the input terminal of CH1 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 or error. The probe compensation procedures are as follows: 1.

RIGOL The instrument can output a positive pulse via this connector when a failed waveform is detected during the pass/fail test. The instrument continuously outputs a low level via this connector when no failed waveform is detected. 5. Source Output The output terminals of the built-in dual-channel source of the oscilloscope.
RIGOL Front Panel Function Overview VERTICAL CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4: analog channel setting keys. The 4 channels are marked by different colors which are also used to mark both the corresponding 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 Logic Analyzer Press this key to open the logic analyzer control menu. You can turn on or off any channel or channel group, modify the display size of the digital channel, modify the logic threshold of the digital channel as well as group the 16 digital channels. You can also set a label for each digital channel.
RIGOL HORIZONTAL HORIZONTAL POSITION: modify the horizontal position. The trigger point would move left or right relative to the center of the screen when you turn the knob. During the modification, waveforms of all the channels would move left or right and the horizontal position message (e.g.
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. AUTO Press this key to enable the waveform auto setting function. The oscilloscope will automatically adjust the vertical scale, horizontal time base and trigger mode according to the input signal to realize optimum waveform display.
RIGOL Multifunction Knob Adjust waveform brightness: In non-menu-operation mode, 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 60%.
RIGOL Display: press this key to enter display setting menu to set the display type, persistence time, wave intensity, grid type and grid brightness. Utility: press this key to enter the system function setting menu to set the system-related functions or parameters, such as the I/O, sound and language.
