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 System System Info). 1. The screen is still dark (no display) after power on: (1) Check if the power is correctly connected. (2) Check whether the fuse is burned out.
RIGOL 5. No display after pressing RUN/STOP: Check if the MODE at the trigger panel (TRIGGER) is on “Normal” or “Single” and if the trigger level exceeds the waveform range. If yes, set the trigger level to the middle or set the MODE to “Auto”. Note: using AUTO could automatically finish the above setting. 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.
