RIGOL Document Overview This manual guides users to correctly test the performance of RIGOL DS2000 series digital oscilloscope. Main topics in this manual: Chapter 1 Overview This chapter introduces the preparations and precautions of the performance verification test. Chapter 2 Performance Calibration Test This chapter introduces the limit, test device required as well as test method and procedures of each performance.
Chapter 1 Overview RIGOL Chapter 1 Overview Test Preparations The following preparations should be done before the test: 1) 2) Warm-up: warm the oscilloscope up for at least 30 minutes; Self-calibration: calibrate the oscilloscope. Self-calibration Before performing self-calibration, make sure that the oscilloscope has been warmed up or running for 30 minutes. 1) 2) Disconnect the connections of all the channels.
RIGOL Chapter 1 Overview Test Result Record Record and keep the test result of each test. In the Appendix of this manual, a test result record form which lists all the test items and their corresponding performance limits as well as spaces for users to record the test results, is provided. Tip: It is recommended that users photocopy the test record form before each test and record the test results in the copy so that the form can be used repeatedly.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Performance Calibration Test Chapter 2 Performance Calibration Test This chapter introduces the performance verification test method of DS1000E/DS1000D series digital oscilloscope by taking DS1102E as an example. You can perform the following test in any order. In this manual, the test device used is Fluke 9500B. You can also use other devices that fulfill the specification requirements for the test.
