Product Overview
MSO8000 series is a medium and high-end mixed signal digital oscilloscope
designed on the basis of the ASIC chip (RIGOL self-owns its intellectual
property right) and UltraVision II technical platform developed by RIGOL.
Integrating 7 independent instruments into one, the MSO8000 series is
equipped with the analog bandwidth of up to 2 GHz, extremely high memory
depth of 500 Mpts, sound waveform display effects, excellent waveform
capture rate, and powerful data analysis functions. Many of its specifications
have reached the top level in the industry. Meanwhile, it supports the real-time
eye diagram measurement and jitter analysis. Its cost-effective features and
high performance make it prominent as the 2 GHz mixed signal digital
oscilloscope.
For descriptions of the front panel, refer to Figure 1 and Table 1; for
descriptions of the rear panel, refer to Figure 2 and Table 2; and for
descriptions of the main interface (display screen), refer to Figure 3 and Table

To Prepare for Use
To Adjust the Supporting Legs
Adjust the supporting legs properly to use them as stands to tilt the oscilloscope
upwards for stable placement of the oscilloscope as well as better operation
and observation, as shown in Figure 4.
To Connect to AC Power
The input AC power requirements of the oscilloscope are 100~240 V, 45~440
Hz. Please use the power cord provided in the accessories to connect the
oscilloscope to the AC power source via the power cord connector, as shown in
Figure 5.

Turn-on Checkout
When the oscilloscope is connected to power, press the Power key at the
lower-left corner of the front panel to start the oscilloscope. (You can also press
Utility System Power status, and select "Switch On". After the
instrument is connected to power source, it will start directly.) During the
start-up process, the oscilloscope performs a series of self-tests. After the
self-test, the welcome screen is displayed.
To Set the System Language
MSO8000 series oscilloscope supports multiple system languages. You can
press Utility Language to set the system language.
To Connect the Probe
RIGOL provides the passive probe, the active probe, and the logic probe for
MSO8000 series. For specific probe models, please refer to
Datasheet
specified Probe User’s Guide.
Connect the passive probe:
1. Connect the BNC terminal of the probe to an analog channel input
2. Connect the ground alligator clip or spring of the probe to the circuit
. For detailed technical information of the probes, please refer to the
terminal of the oscilloscope on the front panel, as shown in Figure 6.

compensation adjustment before making measurements. For detailed
procedures, refer to "Function Inspection" and the "Probe
Compensation" sections introduced in this manual.
Connect the active probe:
Take RP7150 (the active differential probe) as an example.
1. Connect the probe head to the preamp of the active probe, as shown in
Figure 7.
Figure 7 To Connect the Probe Head to the Preamp of the Active Probe
2. Connect the other end of the preamp to an analog channel input terminal
of the oscilloscope on the front panel, as shown in Figure 8. Note that you
should push the probe to the end to ensure that it is tightly connected.
Figure 8 To Connect the Active Probe
3. Use the probe auxiliary equipment to connect the probe front to the circuit
under test. For details about the probes, refer to
Probe User's Guide
.
RP7000 Series Active
After connecting the active probe, you can perform probe calibration and offset
voltage adjustment if necessary. For detailed procedures, refer to the
descriptions of the active probe in user's guide.

Connect the logic probe:
1. Connect the output terminal of the logic probe to the digital channel input
terminal on the front panel of the oscilloscope in the correct direction, as
shown in Figure 9.
2. Connect the other terminal of the logic probe to the signal terminal under
test. RIGOL's MSO8000 series has a configuration of a logic probe
RPL2316. To apply to different application scenarios, RPL2316 provides
three connection methods to connect the signal under test. For details,
refer to
RPL2316 Logic Probe User’s Guide
.
Figure 9 To Connect the Logic Probe
Note:
Before you connect the logic probe to the signal under test, connect logic
probe's adapter provided in the accessories to its corresponding channel
group.
The digital channel input terminal does not support hot plugging. Please
do not insert or pull out the logic probe when the instrument is in
power-on state.
Function Inspection
1. Press Default on the front panel, and then a prompt message "Restore
default?" is displayed. Press or tap OK to restore the oscilloscope to its
factory default settings.
2. Connect the ground alligator clip of the probe to the "Ground Terminal" as
shown in Figure 10 below.
3. Use the probe to connect the input terminal of CH1 of the oscilloscope and
the "Compensation Signal Output Terminal" of the probe, as shown in
Figure 10.
