RIGOL Chapter 2 To Set the Vertical System
DS1000Z User’s Guide

To Enable the Channel
DS1000Z provides 4 analog input channels (CH1-CH4) and each channel can be
controlled independently. As the vertical system setting methods of the 4 channels
are completely the same, this chapter takes CH1 as an example to introduce the
setting method of the vertical system.
Connect a signal to the channel connector of CH1 and then press CH1 in the vertical
control area (VERTICAL) at the front panel to enable CH1. At this point, the channel
setting menu is displayed at the right side of the screen and the channel label at the
bottom of the screen (as shown in the figure below) is highlighted. The information
displayed in the channel label is related to the current channel setting.
After the channel is turned on, modify the parameters such as the vertical scale, the
horizontal time base, the trigger mode and the trigger level according to the input
signal to make the waveform displayed easy to observe and measure.
