RIGOL User Interface The user interface of DG1000Z provides three types of display modes: Dual Channels Parameters (default), Dual Channels Graph and Single Channel. This manual mainly introduces the user interface taking the first display mode as an example. Dual Channels Parameters Mode Figure 4 User Interface (Dual Channels Parameters Mode) 1.
RIGOL 2. Current Function Display the function name selected currently. For example, “Sine” is displayed when the sine is selected and “Edit” is displayed when the arbitrary waveform editing function is selected. 3. Menu Display the operation menu of the function selected currently.
RIGOL Dual Channels Graph Mode Press Utility System Display DispMode to select “Dual Graph”, as shown in the figure below. Figure 5 User Interface (Dual Channels Graph Mode) Single Channel Mode Press Utility System Display DispMode to select “Single View”, as shown in the figure below.
RIGOL To Use the Built-in Help System The built-in help system of DG1000Z provides help information for each key and menu softkey at the front panel. Users can view the help of any key when operating the instrument. 1. Acquire the built-in help Press Help and the backlight goes on.
RIGOL Basic Operations To Output Basic Waveform DG1000Z can output basic waveforms (Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse and Noise) from one of the channels separately or from the two channels at the same time. This section introduces how to output a sine waveform (Frequency: 20kHz, Amplitude: , Start Phase: 90°) from the [CH1] connector.
RIGOL 6. To set the start phase Press Start Phase, and then use the numeric keyboard to input 90. Then, select ° from the pop-up menu. The start phase ranges from 0° to 360°. 7. To enable the output Press Output1 to turn CH1 output on. At this point, the backlight goes on and the [CH1] connector outputs waveform with the specified parameters.
RIGOL 3. To edit arbitrary waveform Press Arb Edit Wform to open the arbitrary waveform editing menu. Press Mode to select “Sample”. Press Cycle Period, use the numeric keyboard to input 1 and select sec from the pop-up menu.
RIGOL To Output Harmonics DG1000Z can be used as a harmonic generator to output harmonic with specified order, amplitude and phase. This section introduces how to output the 2 and 4 harmonics from the [CH1] connector (Amplitude: 2Vpp and 1Vpp, Phase: 30° and 50°, Order: 5).
Page 28
RIGOL 6. To set harmonic amplitude Press Harmonic Ampl in the harmonic setting menu to set the amplitude of the and 4 harmonics. 1) Press SN, use the numeric keyboard to input 2 and press Sure. 2) Press Harmonic Ampl, use the numeric keyboard to input 2 and select Vpp from the pop-up menu.
RIGOL To Output AM Modulated Waveform For amplitude modulation (AM), the amplitude of the carrier waveform varies with the instantaneous voltage of the modulating waveform. This section introduces how to output AM modulated waveform from the [CH1] connector (the carrier is sine with 5kHz frequency and 5Vpp amplitude, the modulating waveform is sine with 200Hz frequency and the modulation depth is 80%).
RIGOL Figure 9 AM Modulated Waveform To Output FSK Modulated Waveform For FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) modulation, the generator “shifts” its output frequency between two preset frequencies (carrier frequency and hop frequency). This section introduces how to output FSK modulated waveform from the [CH1] connector (the carrier is sine with 3kHz frequency and 5Vpp amplitude, the hop frequency is 500Hz, the FSK rate is 100Hz and the modulating polarity is Pos).
RIGOL 5. To set FSK rate Press FSK Rate, use the numeric keyboard to input 100 and select Hz from the pop-up menu. 6. To set modulating polarity Press Polarity to select the Pos polarity of the modulating waveform to control the output frequency.
