  • Page 3: Overview

    OVERVIEW The purpose of this document is to provide standard operating procedures for the use of the Rigol DS4024 Oscilloscope in room 2222 of the Student Innovation Center. Prior to engaging in hands-on training and operation, these re- quired training modules MUST be completed: •...
  • Page 4: Health & Safety Info

    HEALTH & SAFETY INFO Chemical Vapors: Heating of solder can generate toxic vapors and vapors with high volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Hot Surfaces: Circuits and soldering equipment generate heat. Such surfaces must be guarded and labeling must warn users of the hazards.
  • Page 5: Hazard Control Measures/Required Ppe

    HAZARD CONTROL MEASURES AND REQUIRED PPE REQUIRED PPE: • Safety glasses • Closed toed shoes Hazard Control Measures: • Always use the grounding strap when operating equipment • No food/drink • Electric shock can be dangerous and possibly deadly! If you are unfamiliar with the electricity requirements of your project, ask a shop staff for assistance...
  • Page 6: First Aid Procedures

    FIRST AID PROCEDURES BURNS: Minor burns are typically small, red, have swelling, and can blister. Cool burns with cold water and continue until the pain lessens. After cooling, cover with a dry, sterile bandage or clean dressing. Consult a physician as needed. CUTS/SCRAPES: Minor cuts and scrapes usually stop bleeding on their own.
  • Page 7: Waste Disposal

    WASTE DISPOSAL If you have left over parts/materials that are stil useable, you may donate them to the shop for other users. Dispose of any un-usable left over wires, components, solder drips, etc. into the waste bin.
  • Page 8: Spill/Clean Up Proceedures

    SPILL/CLEAN UP PROCEDURES If using solder, do not touch solder drips for 30 seconds to allow solder to cool. After 30 seconds, wipe off surface(s) and dispose of in the waste bins.
  • Page 9: Operations Guide

    OPERATIONS GUIDE PLEASE NOTE: This guide is meant to cover the basic operations of creating measurements using the oscilloscope. For a more detailed description of the front panel features, please refer to the Appendix. Additionally, there are many features and fuctions available that are beyond the scope of this guide and it is recommended to read the manufacturers manual for a full detailed description of all features, functions, and operations.

    APPENDIX: FRONT PANEL FUNCTION OVERVIEW...
  • Page 40 VERTICAL • CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4: analog input channel switches. The four chan- nels are marked by different colors which are also used to mark the corresponding waveforms on the screen and the channel input con- nectors. Press any key to turn on the corresponding channel and open the corresponding channel menu;...
  • Page 41 • REF: press this key to enable the reference waveform function. You can compare the waveform actually measured with the reference waveform. • Decode1, Decode2: press any key to open the corresponding decod- ing function menu. HORIZONTAL • MENU: press this key to open the horizontal control menu. You can turn on or off the delayed sweep, switch between different horizontal time base modes, switch between “Coarse”...
  • Page 42 • HORIZONTAL POSITION: horizontal position knob. Turn the knob to modify the horizontal position (namely the trigger position). During the modification, the trigger point and the waveforms displayed move left or right; the horizontal position message at the upper-right side of the screen changes accordingly.
  • Page 43 MULTI-FUNCTION KNOB This knob can be used to select parameter item, adjust the value of the parameter and etc. • In menu operation, this knob can be used to open the submenu or se- lect the desired parameter item. For menu item that include multiple parameter items, you can press the corresponding menu softkey and then turn the knob to select the specified parameter item (sometimes, you need to press down the knob to select the parameter item).
  • Page 44 NAVIGATION KNOB This knob provides quick adjust/locate function for numerical parameters with relatively larger settable ranges. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the value and counterclockwise to decrease the value. The inner knob is used for fine adjustment and the outer knob for coarse adjustment (the larger the rotation amplitude of the outer knob is, the faster the change speed of the value will be).
  • Page 45 RUN/STOP Press this key to set the state of the oscilloscope to “RUN” or “STOP”. In “RUN” state, the key is illumi- nated in yellow and red in “STOP” state. SINGLE Press this key to set the trigger mode to “Single”. In single trigger mode, the oscilloscope gener- ates a trigger when the trigger conditions are met and then stops.
