Chapter 2 To Set the Vertical System

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 channel connector of CH1 and then press CH1 in the vertical control area (VERTICAL) at the front panel to enable CH1. At this point, the channel setting menu is displayed at the right side of the screen 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, trigger mode and trigger level according to the input signal for easy observation and measurement of the waveform.

Channel Coupling

The undesired 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 under test can both pass the channel.

 When the coupling mode is “AC”: the DC components of the signal under test are blocked.

 When the coupling mode is “GND”: the DC and AC components of the signal under test are both blocked.

Press CH1Coupling 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 screen as shown in the 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.

Probe Ratio

MSO1000Z/DS1000Z allows user to set the probe attenuation ratio manually. Press

Vertical Scale

Vertical scale refers to the voltage value per grid in the vertical direction on the screen and is usually expressed as V/div.

Press CH1 and rotate VERTICAL SCALE to adjust the vertical scale (clockwise to reduce the scale and counterclockwise to increase). The size of the displayed waveform will be changed accordingly. The scale information (as shown in the figure below) in the channel label at the bottom of the screen will change accordingly during the adjustment. The adjustable range of the vertical scale is related to the probe ratio currently set. By default, the probe ratio is 10X and the adjustable range of the vertical scale is from 10 mV/div to 100 V/div.

The vertical scale can be adjusted in “Coarse” or “Fine” mode. Press CH1

Volts/Div to switch the adjustment mode.

 Coarse adjustment (take counterclockwise as an example): set the vertical scale in 1-2-5 step namely 10 mV/div, 20 mV/div, 50 mV/div, 100 mV/div…100 V/div.

 Fine adjustment: further adjust the vertical scale within a relatively smaller range to improve vertical resolution. If the amplitude of the input waveform is a little bit greater than the full scale under the current scale and the amplitude would be a little bit lower if the next scale is used, fine adjustment can be used to improve the amplitude of waveform display to view signal details.

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 CH1Delay-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 different horizontal time base are as shown in the table below.

Tip

You can also press down HORIZONTAL SCALE (delayed sweep shortcut key) to directly switch to the delayed sweep mode.

Time Base Mode

Press MENU in the horizontal control area (HORIZONTAL) at the front panel and then press Time Base to select the time base mode of the oscilloscope. The default is YT.

YT Mode

In this mode, the Y axis represents voltage and the X axis represents time.

Note:

Only when this mode is enabled, can “Delayed Sweep” be turned on. In this

mode, when the horizontal time base is greater than or equal to 200 ms, the instrument enters slow sweep mode. For the details, please refer to the introduction

of slow sweep in “Roll Mode”.

XY Mode

In this mode, the oscilloscope changes the two channels from voltage-time display mode to voltage-voltage display mode. The phase deviation between two signals with the same frequency can be easily measured via Lissajous method. The figure below shows the measurement schematic diagram of the phase deviation.

The signal must be centered horizontally

D A B

Figure 3-2 Measurement Schematic Diagram of Phase Deviation

MSO1000Z/DS1000Z User’s Guide 3-3

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 quadrant I and 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 should be within quadrant II and III, namely 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.

Method 1: Use Lissajous method

1. Connect a sine signal to CH1 and then connect a sine signal with the same frequency and amplitude but a 90° phase deviation to CH2.

2. Press AUTO and then adjust the vertical positions of CH1 and CH2 to 0 V.

3. Set the time base mode to XY, press X-Y and select “CH1-CH2”. Rotate

Horizontal SCALE to adjust the sample rate properly to get better

Lissajous figure for better observation and measurement.

4. Rotate VERTICAL SCALE of CH1 and CH2 to make the signals easy to observe. At this point, the circle as shown in the figure below should be displayed.

5. Observe the measurement result shown in the figure above. According to the

measurement schematic diagram of the phase deviation (as shown in Figure

3-2), A/B (C/D) = 1. Thus, the phase deviation angle θ=±arcsin1=90°.

Chapter 3 To Set the Horizontal System

RIGOL

Note:

 The maximum sample rate of XY mode is 500 MSa/s. Generally, longer sample waveform can ensure better display effect of Lissajous figure. But due to the limitation of the memory depth, you have to reduce the waveform sample rate

to acquire longer waveform (refer to the introduction in “Memory Depth”).

Therefore, during the measurement, reducing the sample rate properly can acquire better display effect of Lissajous figure.

 When XY mode is enabled, “Delayed Sweep” will be disabled automatically.

 Press X-Y to select “CH1-CH2, CH1-CH3, CH1-CH4, CH2-CH3, CH2-CH4,

CH3-CH4”. After you choose any of the options, the instrument automatically turns on the two corresponding channels and turns off the other two channels.

The X-axis tracks the voltage of the first channel in each option; the Y-axis tracks the voltage of the second channel in each option.

 The following functions are not available in XY mode:

Delayed Sweep”, “Vectors”, “Protocol Decoding”, “Acquisition Mode”,

Pass/Fail Test”, “Waveform Record” “Digital Channel” and “To Set the

Persistence Time”.

Method 2: Use the shortcut measurement function

Please refer to “Phase 12 ” and “Phase 12 ” measurement functions of “Delay

and Phase” on page 6-23.

Roll Mode

In this mode, the waveform scrolls from right to left to update the display.

The horizontal position and trigger control of the waveform are not available. The range of horizontal scale adjustment is from 200 ms to 50.0 s.

Note:

When Roll mode is enabled, the waveform “horizontal position”, “Delayed

Sweep”, “Protocol Decoding”, “Pass/Fail Test”, “Waveform Record”, “To Set

the Persistence Time” and “To Trigger the Oscilloscope” are not available.

Slow Sweep

Slow sweep is similar to Roll mode. In YT mode, when the horizontal time base is set to 200 ms/div or slower, the instrument enters “slow sweep” mode in which the instrument first acquires the data at the left of the trigger point and then waits for a trigger event. After the trigger occurs, the instrument continues to finish the waveform at the right of the trigger point. When slow sweep mode is used to

observe low frequency signal, DC “Channel Coupling” mode is recommended.

The acquisition mode is used to control how to generate waveform points from sample points.

Press AcquireMode at the front panel and use to select the desired acquisition mode (the default is normal), then press down the knob to select this mode. You can also press Mode continuously to switch the acquisition mode.

Normal

In this mode, the oscilloscope samples the signal at equal time interval to rebuild the waveform. For most of the waveforms, the best display effect can be obtained using this mode.

Peak Detect

In this mode, the oscilloscope acquires the maximum and minimum values of the signal within the sample interval to get the envelope of the signal or the narrow pulse of the signal that might be lost. In this mode, signal confusion can be prevented but the noise displayed would be larger.

In this mode, the oscilloscope can display all the pulses with pulse widths at least as wide as the sample period.

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 response of the displayed waveform to the waveform changes.

The available range of the number of averages is from 2 to 1024 and the default is 2.

When “Average” mode is selected, press Averages and use to set the desired number of averages as the power function of 2.

High Resolution

This mode uses a kind of ultra-sample technique to average the neighboring points of the sample waveform to reduce the random noise on the input signal and generate much smoother waveforms on the screen. This is generally used when the sample rate of the digital converter is higher than the storage rate of the acquisition memory.

Note: “Average” and “High Res” modes use different averaging methods. The former uses “Multi-sample Average” and the latter uses “Single Sample Average”.

Sin(x)/x

Press Sin(x)/x to enable or disable the dynamic sine interpolation function which can acquire better restoration of the original waveform.

Note: If the number of channels currently turned on is less than three, Sin(x)/x is grayed out and disabled.

Sample Rate

The maximum sample rate of MSO1000Z/DS1000Z is 1 GSa/s.

Note: The sample rate is displayed in the status bar at the upper side of the screen and in the Sa Rate menu and can be changed by adjusting the horizontal time base through HORIZONTAL

SCALE or modifying the “Memory Depth”.

The influence on the waveform when the sample rate is too low:

1. Waveform Distortion: when the sample rate is too low, some waveform details are lost and the waveform displayed is rather different from the actual signal.

2. Waveform Confusion: when the sample rate is lower than twice the actual signal frequency (Nyquist Frequency), the frequency of the waveform rebuilt from the sample data is lower than the actual signal frequency.

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 waveform continuously no matter whether 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 acquired overlap to display stable waveform.

Trigger setting should be based on the features of the input signal, thus you need to have some knowledge of the signal under test to quickly capture the desired waveform. This oscilloscope provides abundant advanced trigger functions which can help you to focus on the desired waveform details.

Digital Channel Delay Calibration

When using the oscilloscope for actual measurement, the transmission delay of the probe cable may cause relatively larger error (zero offset). Zero offset is defined as the offset of the crossing point of the waveform and threshold level line relative to the trigger position. For MSO1000Z, users can set a delay time to calibrate the zero offset of the corresponding channel.

Press Delay-Cal and rotate to set the delay calibration time. The range is from

-100 ns to 100 ns.

Note: The delay calibration setting is related to the instrument model and the current horizontal time base. The larger the horizontal time base is, the larger the setting step will be. Take MSO1104Z as an example; the steps under different horizontal time bases are as shown in the table below.

Chapter 8 Protocol Decoding

Protocol analysis can be used by users to discover errors, debug hardware and accelerate development easily, so as to guarantee quick and high-quality accomplishment of projects. Protocol decoding is the basis of protocol analysis. Only protocol analyses with correct protocol decoding are acceptable and only correct protocol decoding can provide more error information. MSO1000Z/DS1000Z provides two bus decoding modules (Decode 1 and Decode 2) to make common protocol decoding (including Parallel (standard), RS232 (option), I2C (option) and SPI

(option)) for the input signals of the analog channels (CH1-CH4) and digital channels

(D0-D15). As the decoding functions and setting methods of Decode 1 and Decode 2 are the same, this chapter only takes Decode1 for illustration.

To get the decoding option information, please refer to the introduction in

Appendix A: Accessories and Options”. When you have ordered the decoding

option, please refer to the introduction in “Option Management” to activate

Chapter 17 Troubleshooting

The commonly encountered failures and their solutions are listed below. When you encounter those problems, please solve them following the corresponding steps. If the problem remains still, please contact RIGOL and provide your device information (Utility SystemSystem Info).

1. The screen is still dark (no display) after pressing the power key:

(1) Check whether the power switch is really on.

(2) Check whether the power is correctly connected.

(3) Check whether the fuse is burned out. If the fuse needs to be changed, please use the specified fuse.

(4) Restart the instrument after finishing the above inspections.

(5) If it still does not work correctly, please contact RIGOL.

2. The signal is sampled but no waveform of the signal is displayed:

(1) Check whether the probe is correctly connected to the oscilloscope and item to be tested.

(2) Check whether there are signals generated from the item to be tested (you can connect the probe compensation signal to the problematic channel to determine which has problem, the channel or the item to be tested).

(3) Resample the signal.

3. The tested voltage amplitude is greater or lower than the actual value

(this problem usually occurs when probe is used):

Check whether the probe ratio of the channel complies with the attenuation ratio of the probe.

4. There is waveform display but not stable:

(1) Check the trigger source: press MENUSource in the trigger control area (TRIGGER) at the front panel to check whether the trigger source selected complies with the signal channel actually used.

(2) Check the trigger type: general signals should use “Edge” trigger and video signal should use “Video” trigger. Only when the proper trigger type is used, can the waveform be displayed stably.

(3) Check the trigger level: adjust the trigger level to the middle of the signal.

(4) Change the trigger holdoff setting.

5. No display after pressing RUN/STOP:

Check whether the trigger mode in the trigger control area (TRIGGER) at the front panel is “Normal” or “Single” and whether the trigger level exceeds the waveform range. If yes, set the trigger level to the middle or set MODE to

“Auto”.

Note: Using AUTO could automatically finish the above setting.
