To Enable the Analog Channel
MSO1000Z/DS1000Z provides 4 analog input channels (CH1-CH4). As the setting
methods of the vertical systems of the four channels are the same, this chapter takes
CH1 as an example to illustrate the setting method of the vertical system.
Connect a signal to the ch annel connect or of CH 1 and the n p ress CH1 in the vertical
control area (VERTICAL) at the front panel to enable CH1. At this point, the channel
setting menu is displaye d at the ri ght si de of the scr een and the channel status label
at the bottom of the screen (as shown in the figure below) is highlighted. The
information displayed in the channel status label is related to the current channel
setting.
After the channel is turned on, modify the parameters such as the vertical scale,
horizontal time base, trigge r mode and trigger level according to the i nput signal for
easy observation and measurement of th e wav eform.
Channel Coupling
The undesire d signals can be filtered out by setting the coupling mode. For example,
the signal under test is a square waveform with DC offset.
When the coupling mode is "DC": the DC and AC components of the signal un der
test can both pass the channel.
When the coupling mode is "AC": the DC components of the signal under test
are blo cked.
When the coupling mode is "GND": the DC and AC components of the signal
under test are both blocked.
Press CH1 Coupling and use to select the desired coupling mode (the
default is DC). The current coupling mode is displayed in the channel status label at
the bottom of the s creen a s shown in t he figure below . You can also press Coupling
continuously to switch the coupling mode.

Bandwidth Limit
MSO1000Z/DS1000Z supports the bandwidth limit function which can reduce the
display noise. For example, the signal under test is a pulse with high frequency
oscillation.
When the bandwidth limit is disabled, the high frequency components of the
signal under test can pass the channel.
When limiting the bandwidth to 20 MHz, the high frequency components of the
signal under test that exceed 20 MHz are attenuated.
Press CH1, then press BW Limit continuously to switch the bandwidth limit state
(the default is OFF). When the bandwidth limit is enabled, the character "B" will be
displayed in the channel status label at the bottom of the screen.
Note: Bandwidth limit can reduce the noise as well as attenuate or eliminate the
high frequency components of the signal.

Delay Calibration of the Analog Channel
When using an oscilloscope for actual measurement, the transmission delay of the
probe cable may bring relatively greater error (zero offset). MSO1000Z/DS1000Z
supports user to set a delay time to calibrate the zero offset of the corresponding
channel. Zero offset is defined as the offset of the crossing point of the waveform
and trigger level line relative to the trigger position, as shown in the figure below.
Figure 2-1 Zero Offset
Press CH1 Delay-Cal and use to set the desired delay time. The range
available is from -100 ns to 100 ns. Pressing down the multifunction knob will
reset the delay time to 0.00 s.
Note: This parameter is related to the instrument model and the current horizontal
time base setting. The larger the horizontal time base is, the larger the setting step
will be. Take MSO1104Z-S as an example. The step values under differen t horizontal
time base ar e as shown in the table below.

RIGOL Chapter 3 To Set the Horizontal System
According to sinθ=A/B or C/D (wherein, θ is the phase deviation angle between
the two channels and the definitions of A, B, C and D are as shown in the figure
above), the phase deviation angle is obtained, that is:
θ=±arcsin (A/B) or ±arcsin (C/D)
If the principal axis of the ellipse is within quadrant I and III, the phase deviation
angle obtained should be within quadr ant I an d IV, namely within (0 to π/2) or (3π/2
to 2π). If the principal axis of the ellipse is within quadrant II and IV, the phase
deviation angle obtained s hould be wit hin qua dr ant II an d III, namel y within (π/2 to
π) or (π to 3π/2).
The XY function can be used to measure the phase deviation occurred when the
signal under test passes through a circuit network. Connect the oscilloscope to the
circuit to monitor the input and output signals of the circuit.
Application example: measure the phase deviation of the input signals of two
channels.

Average
In this mode, the oscilloscope averages the waveforms from multiple samples to
reduce the random noise of the input signal and improve the vertical resolution.
Greater number of averages can lower the noise and increase the vertical resolution;
while at the same time, it will slow the respons e of the displayed waveform to the

Chapter 5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope
As for trigger, you set certain trigger condition according to the requirement and
when a waveform in the waveform stream meets this condition, the oscilloscope
captures this waveform as well as the neighbouring part and displays them on the
screen. For digital oscilloscope, it samples wa veform continuously n o matter wh ether
it is stably triggered, but only stable trigger can ensure stable display. The trigger
module ensures that every time base sweep or acquisition starts from the
user-defined trigger condition, namely every sweep is synchronous to the acquisition
and the waveforms acq u ired overlap to displ ay sta ble waveform.
Trigger setting should be based on t he features of the input signal, thus you n eed to
have some knowledge of the signal under test to quickly capture the desired
waveform. This os cilloscope provides abundant adv anced trigger f unctions which can

Trigger Source
Press MENU Source in the trigger control area (TRIGGER) at the front panel to
select the desi red tri gger s ource. A nalog channels CH1-CH4, digital c hannels D0-D15
or the AC Line can all be used as trigger source.
Analog channel input:
Signals input from analog channels CH1-CH4 can all be used as trigger source. No
matter whether the channel selected is enabled, the channel can work normally.
Note: When any channel among D7-D0 is enabled, CH4 cannot be us e d as trigger
source; when any channel among D15-D8 is enabled, CH3 cann ot be used as tr igger
source.
Digital ch an n e l in p ut:
Only the digital channels turned on can be used as trigger source. Please refer to the
introduction of "To Turn on/off the Digital Channel" to turn on the desired
digital channel.
AC line:
The trigger signal is obtained f rom the AC power input o f the oscilloscope. AC t rig ger
is usually used to measure signals relevant to the AC powe r fre que n cy. For exampl e ,
stably trigger the waveform output from the transformer of a transformer substation;
it is mainly used in related measurements of the power industry.

Trigger Mode
The following is the schematic diagram of the acquisition memory. To easily
understand the trigger event, the acquisition memory is divided into the pre-trigger
buffer an d pos t-trigger buffer.
Figure 5-1 Schematic Diagram of the Acquisition Memor y
After the system runs, the oscilloscope operates by first filling the pre-trigger buffer.
It starts searching for a trigger after the pre-trigger buffer is filled. While searching
for the trigger, the data sampled will still be transmitted to the pre-trigger buffer (the
new data will continuously ove rwrite the previous date). When a trig ger is f ound, th e
pre-trigger buffer contains the data acquired just before the trigger. Then, the
oscilloscope will fill the post-trigger buffer and display the data in the acquisition
memory. If the acquisition is activated via RUN/STOP, the oscilloscope will repeat
this process; if the acquisition is activated via SINGLE, the oscilloscope will stop
after finishing a single acquisition (you can pan and zoom the waveform currently
displayed).
Press MODE in the trigger control area (TRIGGER) at the front panel or press
MENU Sweep to select the desired trigger mode. The corresponding s tatu s li ght
of the mode currently selected turns on.
Auto: in this trigger mode, the oscilloscope will force a trigger if the specified
trigger condition is not found.
Normal: in this trigger mode, the oscilloscope only triggers when the specified
trigger condition is found.
Single: in this trigger mode, the oscilloscope generates a trigger when the
specified trigger condition is found and then stops.
Note: In "Normal" and "Single" trigger modes, pressing FORCE can generate a
trigger signal forcibly.

Trigger Coupling
Trigger coupling decides which kind of components will be transmitted to the trigger
module. Please distinguish it from "Channel Coupling".
DC: allow DC and AC components into the trigger path.
AC: block all the DC components and attenuate signals lower than 75 Hz.
LF Reject: block the DC components and reject the low frequency components
(lower than 75 kHz).
HF Reject: reject the high frequency components (higher than 75 kHz).

Holdoff Time
Trigger Holdoff
Trigger hol doff can be used to stably trigger complex waveforms (such as mod ulated
waveform). Holdoff time is the am ount of time that the oscilloscope waits for
re-arming the trigger module after generating a correct trigger. The oscilloscope will
not trigger even if the trigger condition is met during the holdoff time and will only
re-arm the trigger module after the holdoff time expires.
Figure 5-2 Schematic Diagram of Trigger Holdoff
Press MENU Setting Holdoff in the trigger control area (TRIGGER) at the
front panel and use the multifunction knob to modify the holdoff time (the
default is 16 ns) until the waveform triggers stably. The adjustable range of h oldoff
time is from 16 ns to 10 s.
Note: Trigger holdoff is not available for video trigger, timeout trigger, setup/hold
trigger, Nth edge trigger, RS232 trigger, I2C trigger and SPI trigger.
