  • Page 2 DSA1000 is Rigol’s line of spectrum analyzers. Throughout this tutorial we will attempt to introduce some of the significant capabilities of the DSA1000 family in addition to demonstrating the ease of use of its interface. Displaying the spectrum of a signal:...
  • Page 3 Markers: Markers are used for the purpose of obtaining accurate information about a specific data point on the spectrum graph. For demonstration purposes, with the DSA1000 in the same state as the figure above, press the “Peak” key.
  • Page 4 IGOL ECHNOLOGIES USA 877-4-RIGOL-1 How-To Guide info@rigol.com www.rigolna.com As observed a marker will be placed at the center of the display. The peak button is used for the purpose of placing a marker at the highest point amplitude wise of on the spectrum graph as in the...
  • Page 5 IGOL ECHNOLOGIES USA 877-4-RIGOL-1 How-To Guide info@rigol.com www.rigolna.com Frequency Controls: Pressing the black “FREQ” button, will expose the Frequency menu on the right hand side of the screen. We can see that the frequency is centered at 100 MHz, which is the frequency of the sine wave being inputted into the system.
  • Page 6 IGOL ECHNOLOGIES USA 877-4-RIGOL-1 How-To Guide info@rigol.com www.rigolna.com Span Adjustment: In this section we explore the span adjustment capability. First, press the “Auto tune” button, the peak of the waveform goes back to the center of the screen. Press the “SPAN” button, the span side menu will appear on the right hand...
  • Page 7 IGOL ECHNOLOGIES USA 877-4-RIGOL-1 How-To Guide info@rigol.com www.rigolna.com Press the “Span” soft button, using the numeric keypad, enter 10 MHz...
  • Page 8 IGOL ECHNOLOGIES USA 877-4-RIGOL-1 How-To Guide info@rigol.com www.rigolna.com Press the “Zero Span” soft button; you will observe the time domain characteristics of the signal at the center frequency specified, however it’s worth noting, this option is more useful for observing the envelope of a...
  • Page 9 IGOL ECHNOLOGIES USA 877-4-RIGOL-1 How-To Guide info@rigol.com www.rigolna.com Press the “Full Span” button; you will observe the characteristics of the entire visible spectrum to the analyzer, as seen below.
  • Page 10 IGOL ECHNOLOGIES USA 877-4-RIGOL-1 How-To Guide info@rigol.com www.rigolna.com Amplitude Adjustment: Press the black “AMPT” button; you will observe the amplitude menu on the right hand side as below: Press the “Ref Level” soft button; you will observe the amplitude drop down as below: Press the “Auto Scale”...
  • Page 11 This is its response to across the spectrum visible to the DSA1000. In an ideal situation, the cable would have a flat response across the entire span of the DSA1000. However, due to noise, interference, imperfections in the cable, we can see slight dips in amplitude at certain frequencies.
  • Page 12 IGOL ECHNOLOGIES USA 877-4-RIGOL-1 How-To Guide info@rigol.com www.rigolna.com for its response, it becomes necessary to adjust the TG so that the cables response is compensated for and we can see a flat response curve. To accomplish that, we take advantage of the Normalization feature in the TG.
  • Page 13 IGOL ECHNOLOGIES USA 877-4-RIGOL-1 How-To Guide info@rigol.com www.rigolna.com To adjust the response, press the “Normalize” soft button. The result is observed below: After normalizing the cable, one can now use it to test components or device response.
