Method 1: Use Lissajous method Connect a sine signal to CH1 and then connect a sine signal with the same frequency and amplitude but a 90°...
Page 63 RIGOL 3 To Set the Horizontal System Note: In Y-T mode, the oscilloscope could use any sample rate (within the guaranteed  range) to capture waveform. The maximum sample rate of X-Y mode is 1.0 GSa/s. Generally, reducing the sample rate properly could improve the display effect of Lissajous figure.
Page 64: Roll Mode
RIGOL 3 To Set the Horizontal System Roll Mode In this mode, the waveform scrolls from the right to the left to update the display and the waveform horizontal position and trigger control are not available. The range of horizontal scale adjustment is from 200.0 ms to 1.000 ks.

RIGOL 4 To Set the Sample System Memory Depth Memory depth refers to the number of waveform points that the oscilloscope can store in a single trigger sample and it reflects the storage ability of the sample memory. DS2000 provides up to 56 Mpts memory depth (option) and 14 Mpts standard memory depth.
Page 77: Antialiasing
RIGOL 4 To Set the Sample System Antialiasing At slower sweep speed, the sample rate is reduced and a dedicated display algorithm is used to minimize the possibility of aliasing. Press Acquire  Anti_Aliasing to enable or disable the antialiasing function. By default, antialiasing is disabled.
Page 79: To Trigger The Oscilloscope
RIGOL 5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope 5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope For trigger, you set certain trigger condition according to the requirement and when a waveform in the waveform stream meets this condition, the oscilloscope captures this waveform as well as the neighbouring part and displays them on the screen. For digital oscilloscope, it displays waveform continuously no matter whether it is stably triggered, but only stable trigger can ensures stable display.
Page 80: Trigger Source
RIGOL 5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope Trigger Source Press MENU  Source in the trigger control area (TRIGGER) at the front panel to select the desired trigger source. Siganls input from CH1/CH2 and the [EXT TRIG] connector as well as the AC Line can all be used as trigger source.
Page 81: Trigger Mode
RIGOL 5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope Trigger Mode Trigger mode affects the way in which the oscilloscope searches for the trigger. The following is the schematic diagram of the acquisition memory. As shown in the figure below, the position of the trigger event is determined by the reference time point and the delay setting.
Page 82 RIGOL 5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope Auto: No matter whether the trigger condition is met, there is always waveform display. A horizontal line is displayed when no signal is input. In this mode, the oscilloscope operates by first filling the pre-trigger buffer. It starts searching for a trigger after the pre-trigger buffer is filled and continues to flow data through this buffer while it searches for the trigger.
Page 83: Trigger Coupling
RIGOL 5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope Trigger Coupling Trigger coupling decides which kind of components will be transmitted to the trigger circuit. Please distinguish it with “Channel Coupling”. DC: allow DC and AC components into the trigger path.  AC: block all the DC components and attenuate signals lower than 8 Hz.
Page 84: Trigger Holdoff
RIGOL 5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope Trigger Holdoff Trigger holdoff can be used to stably trigger the complex waveforms (such as pulse series). Holdoff time is the amount of time that the oscilloscope waits before re-arming the trigger circuitry. The oscilloscope will not trigger until the holdoff time expires.
Page 85: Noise Rejection
RIGOL 5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope Noise Rejection Noise Rejection adds additional hysteresis to the trigger circuitry. Noise rejection reduces the possibility of noise trigger but also reduces the trigger sensitivity; therefore, a larger signal is required to trigger the oscilloscope.
