Chapter 1 Overview
Test Preparations
Before performing the test, make the following preparations.
1. Self-test
2. Warm-up (make sure that the instrument has been running for at least 30 minutes)
3. Self-calibration
Self-test
When the oscilloscope is connected to power, press the Power key at the lower-left corner of the front
panel to start the oscilloscope. (You can also press Utility System Power status, and select
"Switch On". After the instrument is connected to power source, it will start directly.) During the
start-up process, the oscilloscope performs a series of self-tests. After the self-test, the welcome
screen is displayed.
If the oscilloscope cannot start normally, refer to "Troubleshooting" section in
MSO5000-E User Guide
to locate the problem and resolve it. Do not perform self-calibration or performance tests until the
instrument passes the self-test.
Self-calibration
Make sure that the oscilloscope has been warmed up or operating for more than 30 minutes before
performing self-calibration.
1. Disconnect all the input channels.
2. Press Utility System SelfCal, and the press Start to execute self-calibration. The
self-calibration lasts for about 45 minutes.
3. Restart the oscilloscope, and then press Acquire Acquisition to select "Average", and then
press Averages to set it to 16.
4. Set the vertical scale of each channel to 2 mV/div and view the offset of the waveform of each
channel. If the offset is greater than 0.5 div, check whether there are interference signals around
you and whether the power source is well grounded. If yes, perform self-calibration again.
Test Result Record
Record and keep the test result of each test. In the Appendix of this manual, a test result record form
which lists all the test items and their corresponding performance limits as well as spaces for users to
record the test results, is provided.
Tip:
It is recommended that users photocopy the test record form before each test and record the test
results in the copy so that the form can be used repeatedly.
Specifications
The specification of each test item is provided in Chapter 2. For other technical parameters, refer to
MSO5000-E DataSheet
(available to download them from RIGOL website: http://www.rigol.com)
Tip:
All the specifications are only valid when the oscilloscope has been warmed up for more than 30
minutes.
