RIGOL Measurement Category Measurement Category DS1000Z series digital oscilloscopes can make measurements in Measurement Category I. WARNING This oscilloscope can only be used for measurements within its specified measurement categories. Measurement Category Definitions Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to MAINS.
RIGOL Working Environment Temperature Operating: 0℃ to +50℃ Non-operating: -40℃ to +70℃ Humidity 0℃ to +30℃: ≤95% relative humidity +30℃ to +40℃: ≤75% relative humidity +40℃ to +50℃: ≤45% relative humility WARNING To avoid short circuit inside the instrument or electric shock, please do not operate in humid environment.
RIGOL Pollution degree 2: Normally only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation may occur. For example: general indoor environment. Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is expected. For example: Sheltered outdoor environment.

Connect the single-wire terminal of the logic probe to the digital channel input terminal on the front panel of the oscilloscope in the correct direction. Connect the other terminal of the logic probe to the signal under test. RIGOL provides DS1000Z Plus with the RPL1116 logic probe option. To realize...
RIGOL Function Inspection 1. Press Storage Default to restore the oscilloscope to its default configuration. 2. Connect the ground 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 errors. The probe compensation procedures are as follows: 1.

RIGOL Pass/Fail: The instrument will output a negative 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 rotate 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.
