Safety Requirement
General Safety Summary
Please review the following safety precautions carefully before putting the instrument into operation
so as to avoid any personal injury or damage to the instrument and any product connected to it. To
prevent potential hazards, please follow the instructio ns specified in this manual to use the instrument
properly.
Use Proper Power Cord.
Only the exclusive power cord designed for the instrument and authorized for use within the local
country could be used.
Ground the Instrument.
The instrument is grounded through the Protective Earth lead of the power cord. To avoid electric
shock, connect the earth terminal of the power cord to the Protective Ea rth terminal before connecting
any input or output terminals.
Connect the Probe Correctly.
If a probe is used, the probe ground lead must be connected to earth ground. Do not connect the
ground lead to high voltage. Improper way of connection could result in dangerous voltages being
present on t he c onne ct ors , con t rols or oth e r surf aces of the oscill oscope a nd pro bes, whi ch will cause
potential hazards for operators.
Observe All Terminal Ratings.
To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and markers on the instrument and check your
manual for more information about ratings before connecting the instrument.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection.
Ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of lightning) can reach the product.
Otherwise, the operator might be exposed to the d anger of an electric shock.
Do Not Operate Without Co v e rs.
Do not operate the instrument with covers o r panels removed.
Do Not Insert Objects Into the Air Outlet.
Do not insert anything into the holes of the fan to avoid damaging the instrument.
Use Proper Fuse.
Please use the specified fuses.
Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure.
Do not touch exposed junctions and components when the unit is powered on.
Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures.
If you suspect that a ny da mage may occur to the inst rument, hav e it ins pected by RIGOL authorized
personnel before further operations. Any maintenance, adjustment or replacement especially to
circuits or accessories must be performed by RIGOL authorized personnel.
Provide Adequate Ventilation.
Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase of temperature in the instrument, which would cause
damage to the instrument . So please k eep the instrument w ell ventilated an d inspect the air outlet and
the fan regularly.

III
Do Not Operate in Wet Conditions.
To avoid short circuit insi d e the instrument or electric shock, never operate the instrument in a humid
environment.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
To avoid personal injuries or damage to the instrument, never operate the instrument in an explosive
atmosphere.
Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.
To avoid dust or moisture from affecting the performance of the instrument, keep the surfaces of the
instrument clean and dry.
Prevent Ele c tr o static Impact.
Operate the instrument in an ele ctrostatic discha rge protective en vi ronment to a void dama ge indu ced
by static discharges. Always ground both the internal and external conductors of cables to release
static before making connections.
Use the Battery Properly.
Do not expose the bat tery (if av ailable) t o high tem perature or fire. Keep it out of the rea ch of children.
Improper change of a battery (lithium battery) may cause an explosion. Use the RIGOL specified
battery only.
Handle with Caution.
Please handle with care during transportation to avoid damage to keys, knobs, interfac es, and other
parts on the panels.

Chapter 1 Overview
Test Preparations
The following preparations should be done before the test:
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 in power-on state, press the power key at the lower left corner of the front
panel to start the oscilloscope. During the start-up, the instrument pe rforms a series of self -test items.
The welcome screen is displayed after the self-test is finished.
If the oscilloscope cannot start normally, refer to "Troubleshooting" section in
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 running for more than 30 minutes before
performing self-calibration.
1. Disconnect the connections of all the channels.
2. Press Utility Self-Cal; pr e ss Start to execute sel f-calibration.
3. The self-calibration lasts for about 30 minutes. After the self-calibration is finished, the
corresponding prompt message is displayed. At this point, please restart the instrument.
4. Press Acquire Mode and use to select "Average"; press Averages and use to set it to
16.
5. Set the probe attenuation ratio of each channel to "1X" (press CH1 (or CH2) Probe).
6. Set the vertical scale of each channel to 2 mV/div and view the o ffs e t of the waveform of e ach
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.

Zero point 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.

Test Procedures
1. Connect the active signal terminal of Fluke 9500B to CH1 of the oscilloscope via a 50 Ω impedance
adapter, as shown in the figure above.
2. Turn o n Fluke 9500B an d se t i ts impedance to 50 Ω.
3. Output a fast edge signal with 500 ps rise time and 1.2 V amplitude via Fluke 9500B.
4. Configure the oscilloscope:
1) Press CH1 in the vertical control area (VERTICAL) on the front panel to turn on CH1.
2) Press CH1 Probe to set the probe attenuation ratio to "1X".
3) Rotate VERTICAL SCALE to set the vertical scale to 20 0 mV/div.
4) Rotate HORIZONTAL SCALE to set the horizontal time base to 5 ns/div.
5) Rotate HORIZONTAL POSITION and VERTICAL POSITION respectively to

adjust the horizontal position and vertical position properly.
6) Rotate TRIGGER
LEVEL to adjust the trigger level to the middle of the screen.
5. Observe the s creen of the o scilloscope . Press Cursor Mode "Manual" to t urn on the manual
cursor function. Measure the zero point offset using manual cursor measurement and record the
measurement result.
6. Output a fast edge signal with 500 ps rise time and 3 V amplitude via Fluke 9500B.
7. Keep the oth er settings of the oscilloscope unchanged and set the vertical scale to 500 mV/div.
8. Repeat Step 5; measure the zero point offset and record the measurement result.
9. Turn off CH1. Test CH2 according to the method above and record the test results.
