Operation Step: denoted by an arrow “”, for example, UTIL Self-Cal. Content Conventions in this Manual: DS6000 series digital oscilloscope includes the following models. In this manual, DS6104 is taken as an example to illustrate the performance verification test methods. Unless otherwise noted, the introductions in this manual are applicable to other models.
RIGOL Chapter 1 Overview Chapter 1 Overview Test Preparations The following preparations should be done before the test. Self-test: perform self-test to make sure that the oscilloscope can work normally; Warm-up: warm the oscilloscope up for at least 30 minutes;...
The specification of each test item is provided in chapter 2. For other specifications, refer to User’s Guide DS6000 Data Sheet (can be downloaded from www.rigol.com). Tip: All the specifications are only valid when the oscilloscope has been warmed up for more than 30 minutes.
This chapter introduces the performance verification test methods and procedures of DS6000 series digital oscilloscope by taking DS6104 as an example. Fluke 9500B is used in this manual for the tests. You can also use other devices that fulfill the “Specification” in Table 2-1.
