To Prepare for Use
To Connect to AC Power
Please use the power cord provided in the accessories to connect the signal generator to the AC
power source, as shown in the figure below. The rated AC power source supported by the signa l
generator is (100-127 V, 45-440Hz) or (100-240 V, 45-65Hz), and its maximum input power s hal l
not exceed 30 W. When the signal generator is connected to the AC power source via the power
cord, the instrument automatically adjusts itself to within the proper voltage range, and you do
not need to select the voltage range manually.
Turn-on Checkout
After connecting the instrument to the power source properly, press on the front panel to
start the signal generator. During the start-up, the instrument will undergo the initialization and
self-check process. Then, it will enter a d efault interface.
To Set the System Language
DG800 arbitrary waveform generator sup ports multiple languages. You can press
UtilitySystem Se tting, and then select a desired language from the Language drop-down
list.
To Use the Built-in Help System
DG800 series provides the h elp in f or ma t ion f or each f r on t-panel function menu and the current
display interface. You can view the help information if you have any questions during the
operation process.
1. Obtain the help informa tio n of the front panel keys
To get the he l p info rmati on about the fro nt -panel keys, press the Help/Local key first, and
then press the desired key fo r the help in formation. The n, the corresponding hel p informati on
is displayed.
To avoid electric shock, ensure that the instrument is correct ly grounded.

up and down the help items or rotate the knob to scroll up and down the list to select the
desired help item. Then, the help in f or m at ion f o r the item is displayed in the interface.
3. Obtain the descriptions of the data in the interface
Press Help/Local on the front panel to enter the interface, as shown ab ove. Tap "Center"
to view the descriptions for the data in the center of the current interface. Tap "Top" to view
the descriptions for the data in the top part of the current interface. Tap "Bottom" t o v i ew
the descriptions for the data in the bot tom part of the curre nt interface . Tap "Guide" to enter
the guide interface.
4. Page up/down operation
When the help information is dis pl a yed in multiple pages, you c a n ta p to m o ve u p a nd do w n
the touch screen to view the help information.
5. Close the current help information
When the help information is displayed in the interface, press Help/Local on the front panel
to close the help information currently displayed on the screen.
Example: To Output Sine
This section mainly introduces how to output Sine waveforms ( freque ncy 2 0 kHz , a mplitude 2. 5
Vpp, offset 500 mVdc, start phase 90°) f r om the [CH1] connector.
1.Select the output channel: Press Output1on the front panel or tap the channel output
configuration status bar to select CH1. At this time, the ch an n el is ind ica t ed in
red in the status bar.
2. Select Sine waveforms: Press Menu on the front panel, and then the waveform selection
interface is displayed. Tap Continuous and then select the "Sine"icon to go to the sine
waveform parameter setting interface aut o matically.
3.Set frequency: Tap the Freq parameter input field to input 20 with the pop-up numeric
keypad, and then select "kHz" as the unit. Tap "Ok".
4.Set amplitude: Tap t h e Ampl parameter input field to input 2.5 with th e pop-up numeric
keypad, and then select "Vpp" as the unit. Tap "Ok".
5.Set offset voltage: Tap t h e Offset parameter input field to input 500 with the pop-up
numeric keypad, and then select "mVdc " as the unit. Tap "Ok".
7
6.Set start phase: Tap the Phase parameter input field to input 90 with the pop-up numeric
keypad, and then select "°" as t h e unit . Tap "Ok".
7.Enable channel output: Press Output1 or tap the channel output configuration status
bar to enable the channel output. Then,the backlight of Output1 key is
illuminated and t he channel status is highlighted (), and the Sine signal is output
from the [CH1] connector based on the current configurations.
8.Observe the output waveforms: Connect the [CH1] connector of the DG800 series t o
the oscilloscope by using the BNC cable, and then you can view the output waveforms from
the oscilloscope.
Remote Control
DG800 series function/arbitrary waveform generator can be connected to the PC via the USBor
GPIB (working with RIGOL USB-G PIB interface converter) to realize remote control. The remote
control can be realized by using SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments)
commands. DG800 series signal generator supports tw o ways of r em ote control: user-defined
programming and PC software (e.g. RIGOL Ultra Sigma).
When the instrument is in remote control, the front panel keys (except the Power key and
Help/Local key) and the tou c h scr een ar e locked. At t h is t ime, you can press Help/Local to
exit the remote mode.
