To Prepare the Oscilloscope for Use

To Remove the Front Panel Cover

Before using the oscilloscope, remove the front panel cover. Grasp the

transverse tabs on each side and pull them outward to remove the cover.

Figure 4 To Remove the Front Panel Cover

To Connect to Power Supply

This oscilloscope supports two kinds of AC input power supplies: 100 V-127 V,

45 Hz-440 Hz; 100 V-240 V, 45 Hz-65 Hz. Please use the power cord supplied

with the accessories to connect the oscilloscope to the AC power source, as

shown in the figure below. After you turn on the power switch, the oscilloscope

is connected to power, and the Power key located at the lower left corner

of the front panel is blinking.

Power-on Inspection

When the oscilloscope is connected to power, press the Power key at the

lower left corner of the front panel to start the oscilloscope. During the start-up

process, the oscilloscope performs a series of self-tests. You can hear the

switching sound of the relay. After the self-test, the welcome screen is

displayed. The "Current Options" dialog box will be displayed if your instrument

currently has installed the trial versions of the options. From this dialog box,

you can view the name, version, and the remaining trial time of the option

currently installed. The instrument will be installed with the trial versions of the

options before leaving factory. Its remaining trial time is about 2,000 minutes.

You can press Utility  System  SelfTestInfo to view the self-test results.

To Connect the Probe

RIGOL provides passive and active probes for DS4000E. For detailed

information of the probes, please refer to the User’s Guide of the corresponding

probe. The following table lists the recommended probes for this oscilloscope.

Model Description

PVP2350

350 MHz, passive probe, standard, auto detection

RP7150

1.5 GHz, active probe, optional, auto detection

Besides, DS4000E supports Tektronix probes with TekProbe II BNC Interface

(required to be used with the option - RIGOL T2R1000 interface adapter).

To Connect the Passive Probe

1. Connect the BNC terminal of the probe to an analog channel input

terminal or the external trigger input connector on the front panel of the

oscilloscope.

2. Connect the ground alligator clip or spring of the probe to the circuit

ground terminal and connect the probe tip to the circuit point to be tested.

After connecting the passive probe, you need to perform probe function

inspection and probe compensation adjustment before making measurements.

For detailed procedures, refer to "Function Inspection for the Passive

Probe" and "Probe Compensation".

RIGOL

DS4000E Quick Guide 13

English

To Connect the Active Probe

Take RP7150 (using the differential probe front) as an example.

1. Connect the probe head to the active probe amplifier.

2. Connect the other end of the active probe amplifier to the analog channel

input terminal or the external trigger input connector on the front panel of

the oscilloscope. Note that you need to push the probe straight on until it

latches into place.

Figure 6 To Connect the Active Probe

3. Use the probing aids to connect the probe head to the circuit under test.

After connecting the active probe, you can perform probe calibration and offset

voltage adjustment if necessary. For detailed procedures, refer to the User's

Guide of this instrument.

RIGOL

14 DS4000E Quick Guide

English

To Connect the Tektronix Probe

1. Connect the Tektronix probe to one end of T2R1000 adapter properly.

2. Connect the other end of T2R1000 adapter to the analog channel input

terminal or the external trigger input connector on the front panel of the

oscilloscope.

3. Connect the ground terminal of the probe to the circuit ground terminal,

and connect the probe tip to the test point of the circuit.

For the specified model of the Tektronix probe, after connecting the probe, you

can perform probe calibration and offset voltage adjustment if necessary. For

detailed procedures, refer to the User's Guide of this instrument.

Function Inspection for the Passive Probe

You need to perform probe function inspection according to the steps below

before making measurements with the passive probe.

1. Press Default  OK to restore the oscilloscope to factory settings.

2. Connect the ground alligator clip of the probe to the "Ground Terminal" as

shown in Figure 7 below.

3. Connect one end of the probe to CH1 input terminal of the oscilloscope,

and connect the other end to the "Probe Compensation Signal Output

Terminal" as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7 To Use the Compensation Signal

4. Set the attenuation on the probe to 10X. Then press AUTO.

5. Observe the waveform on the screen. In normal conditions, the square

waveform is displayed, as shown in the figure below. If the square

waveform actually shown does not match that in the figure below, please

follow the procedures for "Probe Compensation" in the next section.

Figure 8 Probe Compensation Signal (Square Waveform)

6. Use the same method to inspect other analog channels.

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, please ensure that the insulated wire of

the probe is in good condition, and do not touch the metallic part

of the probe when the probe is connected to high voltage source.

Tip

The probe compensation signal can only be used for probe compensation

adjustment and cannot be used for calibration.

Probe Compensation

When the probe is used for the first time or when the probe compensation

signal does not match that shown in Figure 8, you should compensate the

probe to match the input channel of the oscilloscope. The non-compensated or

poorly compensated probe may cause measurement errors.

The procedures for the probe compensation are as follows:

1. Perform Step 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the above section.

2. Check the waveform displayed on the screen of the oscilloscope and

compare it with the waveforms shown in the figure below.

Figure 9 Probe Compensation

3. Use a nonmetallic screwdriver to adjust the low-frequency compensation

adjustment hole on the probe until the waveform is displayed as "Properly

Compensated" in the figure above.

To Use the Built-in Help System

The help system of this oscilloscope provides instructions for all the function

keys and menu softkeys on the front panel. Press Help to open the help

interface, and press it again to close the interface. The help interface consists of

two sections. The left section is "Help Options", and you can select the "Button"

or "Index" tab. The right section is "Help Display Area", which displays the help

information.
