Review the following safety precautions carefully to avoid any personal injuries or damages to the instrument and any products connected to it. To avoid potential hazards, please use the instrument as specified by this manual only.

The instrument should be serviced by Authorized personnel only.

To Avoid Fire or Personal Injury.

Use Proper Power Cord. Use the power cord designed for the instrument and

authorized in your country only.

Ground The Instrument. The oscilloscope is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock the instrument, grounding conductor(s) must be grounded properly, before making connections to the input or output terminals of the instrument.

Connect The Probe. The probes‟ ground terminals are at the same voltage level of the instrument ground. Do not connect the ground terminals to a high voltage.

Observe All Terminal Ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and marks on the instrument. Follow the user‟s guide for further ratings information before making connections to the instrument.

Do Not Operate Without Covers. Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.

Use Proper Fuse. Use the fuse of the type, voltage and current ratings as specified for the instrument.

Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure. Do not touch exposed connections and components when power is on.

Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures. If suspected damage occurs with the instrument, have it inspected by qualified service personnel before further operations.

Do not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.

Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.

The disturbance test of all the models meet the limit values of A in the

standard of EN 61326: 1997+A1+A2+A3, but can’t meet the limit values

of B.

Measurement Category

The DS1000B series Digital Oscilloscope is intended to be used for measurements in Measurement Category I.

Measurement Category Definitions

Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to MAINS. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS derived circuits. In the latter case, transient stresses are variable; for that reason, the transient withstand capability of the equipment is made known to the user.

WARNING

IEC Measurement Category I. The input terminals may be connected to circuit terminal in IEC Category I installations for voltages up to 300 VAC. To avoid the

danger of electric shock, do not connect the inputs to circuit‟s voltages above 300

VAC. Transient overvoltage is also present on circuits that are isolated from mains. The DS1000B series Digital Oscilloscopes is designed to safely withstand occasional transient overvoltage up to 1000 Vpk. Do not use this equipment to measure circuits where transient overvoltage could exceed this level.

The Front Panel and User Interface

Being familiar with the front panel of an oscilloscope is the first priority when you get a new type digital oscilloscope. This chapter will bring you a brief introduction and description of the front panel operations of DS1000B series digital oscilloscopes. It is a great help for your understanding to the layout of the knobs and keys and how to use them. Read the chapter carefully before further operations.

Figure 1-1, the front Panel; the knobs are used most often and are similar to the knobs on other oscilloscopes. There are five gray buttons defined as No.1 to No.5 from up to bottom on the right side of the display which are menu operating buttons. The buttons not only allow you to use some of the functions directly but also bring up soft button menus on the screen, which enable the access to many measurement features associated with the advanced functions, mathematics, and reference or to run control features.

To Inspect the Instrument

After receiving a new DS1000B series oscilloscope, please inspect the instrument as

follows:

1. Inspect the shipping container for damage.

Keep the damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been checked mechanically and electrically.

2. Check the accessories.

Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed in "Accessories" in this guide. If the contents are incomplete or damaged notify the RIGOL Sales Representative.

3. Inspect the instrument.

In case there is any mechanical damage or defect, or the instrument does not operate properly or fails performance tests, notify the RIGOL Sales Representative.

If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning materials show signs of stress, notify the carrier as well as the RIGOL sales office. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier‟s inspection.

RIGOL offices will arrange for repair or replacement at RIGOL‟s option without waiting for claim settlement.

To Compensate the Probes

Perform this adjustment to match the characteristics of the probe and the channel input. This should be performed whenever attaching a probe to any input channel at the first time.

1. From CH1 menu, set the Probe attenuation to 10X (press CH1→Probe→10X). Set the switch to 10X on the probe and connect it to CH1 of the oscilloscope. When using the probe hook-tip, inserting the tip into the hook-tip firmly to ensure a tight connection. Attach the probe tip to the connector of the Probe compensator and link the reference wire cramp with the ground connector of the probe compensator, Select CH1, and then press AUTO.

2. Check the shape of the displayed waveform.

To Display a Signal Automatically

The DS1000B series oscilloscope has an automated feature to display the input signal in best-fit status. The input signal should be 50 Hz or higher and a duty cycle is greater than 1%.

Press the AUTO button, the oscilloscope automatically sets up VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL and TRIGGER controls to display the input signal. Adjust the controls manually to get the best results if necessary.

Using the automatic setting:

1. Connect a signal to the oscilloscope (such as channel 1) as described above.

2. Press AUTO. The oscilloscope may change the current settings to display the signal; adjusts the vertical and horizontal scaling, the trigger coupling, type, position, level, and mode.

Measurement hints

If the channel is DC coupled, measuring the DC and AC components of the signal by simply noting its distance from the ground symbol.

If the channel is AC coupled, the DC component of the signal is blocked, allow you to use greater sensitivity to display the AC component of the signal.

To Understand the Vertical System

As shown in Figure 1-9, there are several series buttons and knobs in the VERTICAL control area. The following exercises will gradually conduct you to be familiar with the using of the vertical parameters settings.

1. Center the signal on the display with the knob.

The knob moves the signal vertically, and it is calibrated. Note that turning the knob, a voltage value is displayed for a short time indicating its value with respect to the ground reference located at the center of the screen. Also notice that the ground symbol on the left side of the display moves in conjunction with the knob.
