control changes the vertical position of signal waveforms in all channels (excluding MATH and REF). The resolution changes according to the vertical level set. Pressing this knob will clear the channel’s vertical offse t to ze ro.

2. Using vertical The vertical

knob.

control changes the vertical sensitivity of signal waveforms in all channels (excluding MATH and REF). If the Volts/Div is set to “Coarse”, the waveform scales in a 1-2-5 step sequence from 2 mV ,5mv,10mv… to 10 V. If the Volts/Div is set to “Fine”, it scales to small steps between the coarse settings. Turn the knob clockwise to decrease the vertical scale, turn the knob counter-cl ockwis e t o increase the vertical Volts/Div setting. You can toggle between “coarse” and “Fine” setting through pressing the

knob.

3. During the vertical positioning, a position message is displayed on the left bottom of the screen, suc h as POS:32.4mv in the same color along with the corresponding channel. The unit is V (Volts).

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 wav eform, it collects enou gh data so that it can draw the waveform to the left of the trigger point. The oscilloscope continues to acquire data while wait ing for the trigger condition to occur. After it det ects a t rigger, the oscilloscope continues to acquire enough data so that it can draw the waveform to the right of the trigger point.

Press MENU button to enter trigger system setting inter fac e.

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. For example, be a trigger source with an external clock or a signal from another part of the test circuit. The Ext, Ext/5 trigger sources use an external trigger signal connected to the EXT TRIG connector. Ext uses the signal directly; it has a trigger level range of -0.6 V to +0.6 V. The EXT/5 trigger source attenuates the signal by 5X, which e xtends the trigger level range to -3V to +3 V allowing the oscilloscope to trigger on a larger signal.

 AC Line:

AC power can be used to display signals related to the power line frequency, such as lighting equipment and power supply devices. The oscilloscope gets triggered on its AC power input, but an AC trigger signal is not required.

2. Trigger Mode:

The trigger mode determines how the oscilloscope behaves in the absence of a trigger event. The oscilloscope provides three trigger modes: Auto, Normal, and Single.

 Auto:

This sweep mode allows the oscilloscope to acquire waveforms even when it does not detect a trigger condition. If no trigger condition occurs while the oscilloscope is waiting for a specific period (as determined by the time-base setting), it will force itself to trigger.

When forcing inv alid triggers, the oscillos cope cannot synchroni ze the wav eform , and the waveform seems to roll across the display. If valid triggers occur, the

RIGOL

2-47

RIGOL

2-48

display becomes stable on the screen. Any factor results in the inst ability of wa veforms can be detected by Auto T rigger, 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 t o acquire a wavef orm only when it is triggered. If no trigger occurs, the oscilloscope keeps waiting, and the previous waveform will remain on the display.

 Single:

In Single mode, after pressing the Single key, the oscilloscope waits for trigger. While the trigger occurs, the oscilloscope acquires one waveform then stop.

3. Coupling:

Trigger coupling determines which signal component passing to the trigger circuit. Coupling types include AC, DC, LF Reject and HF Reject.

 AC: AC coupling blocks DC components and attenuate signal lower than 10 Hz.  DC: DC coupling pas ses both AC an d DC components.  LF Reject: LF Reject coupling blocks DC component, and attenuate s all signal

with a frequency lower than 10 kHz.

 HF Reject: HF Reject coupling attenuates all signals with a frequency higher

than 100 kHz.

4. Pre-trigger/delayed trigger:

The data is collected before and after trigger. The trigger position is typically set at the horizontal center of the screen. In the full-screen display the 6div data of pre-trigger and delayed trigger can be surveyed. More data (14div) of pre-trigger and 1s delayed trigger can be surveyed by adjusting the horizontal

knob. This feature is very useful to study the events that led up to the trigger po int. Everything on the right of the trigger point is called post-trigger information.

Delay range (pre-trigger and post-trigger information) depends on the sweep speed selected.

User’s Guide for DS1000B series

5. Adjustable trigger sensitivity

T o a void the infl uence of noise from the physical w orld, and get t he stable trigg er, the trigger circuit has adopted Stickiness. In DS1000 B seri es, the stickiness is adjustable from 0.1div-1.0div, which means when it sets to 1.0div; the trigger circuit will not aff ect any si gnal wit h peak-peak amplitude less than 1.0div, so as to avoid the influence of the noise.
