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 use the instrument only specified by this manual.
Use Proper Power Cord.
Only the power cord designed for the inst rument and auth orized f or use wit hin the local country could
be used.
Ground the Instrument.
The instrument is grounded through the Protective Earth lead of the power cord. To avoid elect ric
shock, it is essential to connect the earth terminal of the power cord to the Protective Earth terminal
before connecting any inputs or outputs.
Connect the Probe Correctly.
If a probe is used , do not connect the ground lead to high voltage since it has isobaric electric potential
as the ground.
Observe All Terminal Ratings.
To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and ma rkers on the instrument and check your
manual for more information about ratings before connecting the instrument.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection.
Make sure that no ove rvoltage (suc h as that caused by a thunderstorm) can reach the product, or else
the operator might be exposed to the danger of electrical shock.
Do Not Operate Without Covers.
Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.
Do Not Insert Anything Into the Holes of Fan.
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.
Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures.
If you suspect damage occurs to the instrument, have it inspected by RIGOL authorized personnel
before furth er operation s . Any maintenance, adjustment or replacement espe cially to circuits or
accessories must be performed by RIGOL authorized personnel.
Keep Well Ventilation.
Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase of instrument temperature which would cause damage
to the device. So please keep the instrument well ventilated and inspect the intake and fan regularly.
Do Not Operate in Wet Conditions.
In order to avoid short circuiting to the interior of the device or electric shock, please do not operate
the instrument in a humid environ ment.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
In order to avoid damage to the device or personal injuries , it is important t o oper ate the de vice awa y
from an explosive atmosphere.

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 p ower-on state, press the power key at the lower left corne r of the
front panel to start the oscilloscope. During the start-up, the instrument performs a series of self-test
items and you can hear the sound of relay switching. The welcome screen is displayed after the
self-test is finished. You can view the self-test results by pressing Utility System
SelfTestInfo.
If the self-test fails, make sure that the problems are found and resolved and do not perform
self-calibration and 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. Connect the analog input channe ls and the external t rigger input channel of the oscilloscope to the
[Trig Out/Calibration] connector at the rear panel respectively using a one-to-five BNC (M)
cable.
2. Press Utility Self-Cal at the front panel and press Start to execute self-calibration.
3. The self-calibration lasts for about 30 minutes (20 minutes for dual-channel models). After the
self-calibration is f inished, the corresponding prompt message is displayed. At this point, please
restart the instrument.
4. Press Acquire; press Acquisition to select “Average” and press Averages to set it to 16.
5. Disconnect the input signa ls of al l the channels. Set the v ertical s cale of eac h c hannel to 2 mV/div
and view the offset of the wavefor m of each channel. If the offset is greater than 0.5div, you
should perform self-calibration again.
Test Result Record
Record and keep the test result of each test. In the Appendi x of this man ual, a test result record form
which lists all the test it ems and their corresponding performance limits as well as spaces for users to
record the test results, is provided.
Tip:
It is recommended that users photocop y th e te st r ec ord form before each test and record the test

Test Procedures
1. Connect the active signal terminal of Fluk e 950 0B to CH1 of the oscilloscope, as shown in the
f i gure above.
2. Turn on Fluke 9500B and set its i mpedance to 50 Ω.
3. Output a Sine with 10 MHz frequency and 1 Vpp amplitude via Fluke 9500B.
4. Configure the oscilloscope:
1) Press CH1 in the vertical control area (VERTICAL) at the front panel to turn on CH1.
2) Press CH1 Probe Ratio to set the probe attenuation ratio to “1X”.
3) Press CH1 Input to set the input impedance of CH1 to 50 Ω.
4) Rotate VERTICAL SCALE to set the vertical scale to 200 mV/div.
5) Press VERTICAL POSITION to set the vertical position to 0.
6) Rotate HORIZONTAL SCALE to set the horizontal time base to 10 ns.
7) Rotate HORIZONTAL POSITION to set the horizontal position to 1 ms.
5. Observe the s creen of the o scilloscope . Press Cursor Mode “Manual” to turn on t he manual
cursor functio n. Measure the offset (ΔT) of the middle point of the signal (namely the crossing
point of the rising edge of t he current signal and the trigger level line ) relative to the screen center
using manual cursor measurement and record the measurement result.
6. Calculate the time base accuracy ; namely the ratio of ΔT to the horizontal position of the
oscilloscope. For example, if the offset measured is 1 ns, the time base accuracy is 1 ns/1 ms=1
ppm.
7. Calculate the time base accuracy limit using the formula “±(4 ppm + 2 ppm/year × Number of
years that the instrument has been used).
