RIGOL To Prepare for Operation To Adjust the Supporting Legs Adjust the supporting legs properly to use them as stands to tilt the oscilloscope upwards for stable placement of the instrument as well as easier operation and observation of the instrument. Figure 3 To Adjust the Supporting Legs To Connect to AC Power Supply This oscilloscope can accept 100-240 V, 45-440 Hz AC power supply.
RIGOL Power-on Inspection When the oscilloscope is energized, press the power key at the lower-left corner of the front panel to turn on the oscilloscope. During the start-up process, the oscilloscope performs a series of self-test items. After the self-test is finished, the welcome screen is displayed. The instrument is installed with the trial versions of the options before leaving factory and the remaining time is about 2000 minutes.
RIGOL Connect the Logic Probe: 1. Connect the single-wire terminal of the logic probe to the digital channel input terminal at the front panel of the oscilloscope in the correct direction. 2. Connect the other terminal of the logic probe to the signal under test. MSO1000Z series is provided with the RPL1116 logic probe (standard) which provides two connecting methods to connect to the signal under test to realize convenient and flexible detection.
RIGOL Function Inspection 1. Press Storage Æ Default to restore the oscilloscope to its default configuration. 2. Connect the earth alligator clip of the probe to the "Ground Terminal" as shown in the figure below. 3. Use the probe to connect the input terminal of CH1 and the "Compensation Signal Output Terminal" of the oscilloscope. Compensation Signal Output Terminal Ground Terminal Figure 7 To Use the Compensation Signal 4. Press AUTO. 5. Observe the waveform on the display.
RIGOL Probe Compensation When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes to match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or poorly compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy or error. The probe compensation procedures are as follows: 1. Perform steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 of "Function Inspection". 2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following figures.

The instrument continuously outputs a low level via this connector when no failed waveform is detected. 5ˊ Source Output The output terminals of the built-in dual-channel source of the oscilloscope. When Source1 or Source2 is enabled, the signal currently set can be output through the [Source1] or [Source2] connector at the rear panel.
RIGOL Front Panel Function Overview VERTICAL CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4: analog channel setting keys. The 4 channels are marked by different colors which are also used to mark both the corresponding waveforms on the screen and the channel input connectors. Press any key to open the corresponding channel menu and press again to turn off the channel.
RIGOL Logic Analyzer Press this key to open the logic analyzer control menu. You can turn on or off any channel or channel group, modify the display size of the digital channel, modify the logic threshold of the digital channel as well as group the 16 digital channels. You can also set a label for each digital channel. Note: ȸ This function is only applicable to MSO1000Z and DS1000Z Plus with the MSO upgrade option.
RIGOL HORIZONTAL HORIZONTAL POSITION: modify the horizontal position. The trigger point would move left or right relative to the center of the screen when you turn the knob. During the modification, waveforms of all the channels would move left or right and the horizontal position message (e.g. ) at the upper-right corner of the screen would change accordingly. Press down this knob to quickly reset the horizontal position (or the delayed sweep position).
RIGOL CLEAR Press this key to clear all the waveforms on the screen. If the oscilloscope is in "RUN" state, new waveforms will still be displayed. AUTO Press this key to enable the waveform auto setting function. The oscilloscope will automatically adjust the vertical scale, horizontal time base and trigger mode according to the input signal to realize optimum waveform display.
RIGOL Multifunction Knob Adjust waveform brightness: In non-menu-operation mode, turn this knob to adjust the brightness of waveform display. The adjustable range is from 0% to 100%. Turn clockwise to increase the brightness and counterclockwise to reduce. Press down this knob to reset the brightness to 60%. You can also press Display Æ Intensity and use the knob to adjust the waveform brightness. Multifunctional: In menu operation, the backlight of the knob goes on.
RIGOL Display: press this key to enter display setting menu to set the display type, persistence time, wave intensity, grid type and grid brightness. Utility: press this key to enter the system function setting menu to set the system-related functions or parameters, such as the I/O, sound and language.

RIGOL Troubleshooting The commonly encountered failures and their solutions are listed below. When you encounter those failures, please solve them following the corresponding steps. If the problem remains still, please contact RIGOL and provide your device information (acquisition method: Utility Æ System Æ System Info). 1. The screen is still dark (no display) after power on: (1) Check whether the power switch is really on. (2) Check whether the power is correctly connected.
RIGOL 6. The display of waveform is ladder-like: (1) The horizontal time base might be too low. Increase the horizontal time base to increase the horizontal resolution and improve the display. (2) If the display type is "Vectors", the lines between the sample points may cause ladder-like display. Press Display Æ Type to set the display type to "Dots" to solve the problem. 7.
