FFT waveforms are useful in the following applications: Measuring harmonic content and distortion in systems Characterizing noise in DC power supplies Analyzing vibration Press MATH→Operate→FFT to enter FFT setting menu. Figure 2-18 Figure 2-19 Table 2-8 The FFT menu (Page 1/2) Menu Settings Comments Operate A+B A-B A×B FFT Add source A to source B.
RIGOL Key points for FFT 1. 2. 3. Signals that have a DC component or offset can cause incorrect FFT waveform component magnitude values. To minimize the DC component, choose AC Coupling on the source signal. To reduce random noise and aliases components in repetitive or single-shot events, set the oscilloscope acquisition mode to Average. To display FFT waveforms with a large dynamic range, use the dBVRMS scale. The dBVRMS scale displays component magnitudes using a log scale.
RIGOL 2. Selecting an FFT Window DS1000B series oscilloscope provides four FFT windows. Each window is a trade-off between frequency resolution and amplitude accuracy. It depends on the desired measurement and the source signals characteristics to determine the window to use. Use the following guidelines to select the best window. DS1000B provides four FFT functions with different features, which are needed to be selected according to measuring waveform.
RIGOL Term Explanations FFT Resolution: The FFT resolution is the quotient between sampling rate and the number of FFT points. With a fixed FFT points, the lower sampling rate, the better the resolution. Nyquist Frequency: The highest frequency that any real-time digitizing oscilloscope can acquire without aliasing. It’s normally half of the sample rate. This frequency is called the Nyquist frequency. Frequency above the Nyquist frequency will be under sampled, causing a situation known as aliasing.
RIGOL REF Function Reference Waveforms are saved waveforms to be selected for display. The reference function will be available after saving the selected waveform to non-volatile memory. During the actual measurement process, you can use DS1000B series digital oscilloscope to observe the waveforms of correlative components. It will help you to determine the cause of malfunction when you compare the measured waveform with the reference waveform.

RIGOL To Set up the Horizontal System Press MENU button to enter the horizontal setting system. Figure 2-35 Table 2-20 The Horizontal menu Menu Settings Comments Delayed ON OFF Turn on the Delayed Scan mode. Turn off the Delayed Scan mode. ScreenCenter TimeExpand Trigger User Y-T Time Base X-Y Roll[1] Trig-Offset Reset The waveform expands or compresses horizontally around the center of the screen when the horizontal time base is changed.
RIGOL Term Explanations Slow Scan Mode: This mode is available when the horizontal time base is set to 50ms or slower. In this mode, the oscilloscope acquires sufficient data for the left part to the trigger point, then wait for trigger, when trigger occurs, it continue to draw the rest part from the trigger point to the end of the right side. When choosing this mode to view low frequency signals, it is recommended that the channel coupling be set as DC.
RIGOL Knobs Explanation The horizontal controls change the horizontal scale and position of waveforms. The horizontal center of the screen is the time reference for waveforms. Changing the horizontal scale causes the waveform to be expanded or compressed with respect to the screen center. Horizontal position changes the displayed waveform position, relative to the trigger point. 1. The horizontal knob adjusts the horizontal position of all channels (including Math) waveforms.
RIGOL Delayed Scan The Delayed Scan is a magnified portion of the main waveform window. Use Delayed Scan to locate and horizontally expand part of the main waveform window for a more detailed (higher horizontal resolution) analysis of signal. The Delayed Scan time base setting cannot be set slower than the Main time base setting. Press MENU→Delayed→ON, or press horizontal scan function. See the waveform below.
RIGOL X-Y Format This format is useful for studying phase relationships between CH1 and ch2 (CH3 and CH4 can’t be used).CH1 in the horizontal axis(X) and CH2 in the vertical axis(Y), the oscilloscope uses a none-trigger acquisition mode, data is displayed as dots. Press MENU→Time Base→X-Y to enter X-Y mode. Figure 2-37 X-Y display format The oscilloscope can acquire waveforms with any sampling rate in Y-T mode (up to 2GSa/s for single channel or half channel [1]).
RIGOL To Set up the Trigger System The trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to acquire data and display a waveform. When a trigger is set up properly, it can convert unstable displays or blank screens into meaningful waveforms. When the oscilloscope starts to acquire a waveform, it collects enough data so that it can draw the waveform to the left of the trigger point. The oscilloscope continues to acquire data while waiting for the trigger condition to occur.

RIGOL Trigger Holdoff You can use trigger Holdoff to stabilize a complex waveform, such as a pulse sequence. Holdoff time is the oscilloscope’s waiting period before starting a new trigger. During Holdoff, oscilloscope will not trigger until Holdoff ends. For instance: To trigger on the first pulse on a group of them, users can set the holdoff time to Pulse cluster width. Trigger Position Trigger Holdoff Time of Holdoff Figure 2-58 Trigger holdoff Operation Explanations: 1.
RIGOL Trigger Terms Explanation 1. Trigger Source: Trigger occurs from several sources: Input channels (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4), AC Line, Ext, Ext/5. CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4: It is the most commonly used trigger source. The channel works when it is selected as a trigger source whatever displayed. Ext Trig: The instrument can be triggered from an external source while acquiring data from CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4.
RIGOL display becomes stable on the screen. Any factor results in the instability of waveforms can be detected by Auto Trigger, such as the output of Power supply. NOTE: When horizontal control is set under 50 ms/div, Auto mode allows the oscilloscope not to capture trigger signal. Normal: The Normal mode allows the oscilloscope to acquire a waveform only when it is triggered. If no trigger occurs, the oscilloscope keeps waiting, and the previous waveform will remain on the display.
RIGOL 5. Adjustable trigger sensitivity To avoid the influence of noise from the physical world, and get the stable trigger, the trigger circuit has adopted Stickiness. In DS1000B series, the stickiness is adjustable from 0.1div-1.0div, which means when it sets to 1.0div; the trigger circuit will not affect any signal with peak-peak amplitude less than 1.0div, so as to avoid the influence of the noise.

RIGOL Key Points: Real-time Sampling: DS1000B has Real-time sampling rate up to 2GSa/s. At the time base 20ns or faster, the oscilloscopes use the sine(x)/x interpolation to expand the horizontal time base. Equivalent sampling: Known as Repetitive sampling to get up to 20ps of horizontal resolution (equivalent 50Gsa/s). This mode is good for observing repetitive signals, and it is not recommended for single-shot or pulse. Normal Acquisition: Oscilloscope acquires signal by equal time interval.
