RIGOL Math Functions The mathematic functions include “Add”, “Subtract”, “Multiply” and “FFT” for Channel 1 and Channel 2. The mathematic result can be measured by grid and cursor.
RIGOL 1. Using the FFT The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) process converts a time-domain signal into its frequency components mathematically. The horizontal axis shows the frequency and the vertical axis shows the amplitude dBVrms or Vrms. FFT function can not only to help you find crossfire problem and analog waveform distortion caused by nonlinear amplifier, but also can adjust the analog filter.
RIGOL Key points for FFT Signals that have a DC component or offset can cause incorrect FFT waveform component magnitude values. To minimize the DC component, choose AC Coupling on the source signal. To reduce random noise and aliases components in repetitive or single-shot events, set the oscilloscope acquisition mode to average. To display FFT waveforms with a large dynamic range, use the dBVrms scale. The dBVrms scale displays component magnitudes using a log scale. 2.
RIGOL Key points: FFT Resolution: the quotient between sampling rate and number of FFT points. With a fixed FFT points, the lower sampling rate results in better resolution. Nyquist Frequency The highest frequency that any real-time digitizing oscilloscope can acquire without aliasing. It’s normally half of the sample rate. This frequency is called the Nyquist frequency. Frequency above the Nyquist frequency will be under sampled, causing a situation known as aliasing. © 2008 RIGOL Technologies, Inc.

RIGOL Key Points Y-T: The conventional oscilloscope display format. It shows the voltage of a waveform record (on the vertical axis) as it varies over time (on the horizontal axis). X-Y: XY format displays channel 1 in the horizontal axis and channel 2 in the vertical axis. Roll Mode: In this mode, the waveform display rolls from right to left. No trigger or horizontal offset control of waveforms is available during Roll Mode, and it’s only available when set to 500 ms/div or slower.
RIGOL Delayed Scan The Delayed Scan is a magnified portion of the main waveform window. Use Delayed Scan to locate and horizontally expand part of the main waveform window for a more detailed (higher horizontal resolution) analysis of signal. The Delayed Scan time base setting cannot be set slower than the Main time base setting. Press horizontal MENU→Delayed→ON or press horizontal knob to enter Delayed Scan mode.
RIGOL Use the horizontal portion. knob to change the position of the expanded Use the horizontal knob to adjust the Delayed Scan resolution. To change the main time base, turn off the Delayed Scan mode. Since both the main and Delayed Scan are displayed; there are half as many vertical divisions so the vertical scaling is doubled. Notice the changes in the status bar. Delayed Scan Shortcut Key: Delayed Scan function can be activated not only by menu but also by pressing horizontal knob.
RIGOL X-Y Format This format is useful for studying phase relationships between two signals. Channel 1 in the horizontal axis(X) and channel 2 in the vertical axis(Y), the oscilloscope uses a none-trigger acquisition mode, data is displayed as dots. Press horizontal MENU→Time Base→X-Y to enter the X-Y mode. Figure 2- 40 X-Y display format NOTE: In Y-T format, all sample rates are available. But in X-Y format, 100 MSa/s is not available.

RIGOL The Horizontal Knobs : The horizontal knob adjusts the horizontal position of all channels (including Math) waveforms. The resolution of this control varies with the time base. Pressing this button clears trigger offset and moves the trigger point to the horizontal center of the screen. : Use to select the horizontal time/div (scale factor) for the main or the time base of Delayed Scan. When Delayed Scan is enabled, it changes the width of the window zone by changing the Delayed Scan time base.
RIGOL To Set up the Trigger System The trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to acquire data and display a waveform. When a trigger is set up properly, it can convert unstable displays or blank screens into meaningful waveforms. When the oscilloscope starts to acquire a waveform, it collects enough data so that it can draw the waveform to the left of the trigger point. The oscilloscope continues to acquire data while waiting for the trigger condition to occur.
RIGOL Trigger Modes The oscilloscope provides seven trigger modes: Edge, Pulse Width, Slope, Video, Alternate, Pattern (only for DS1000D series) and Duration trigger (only for DS1000D series). Edge: An edge trigger occurs when the trigger input passes through a specified voltage level at the specified slope direction. Pulse Width: Use this trigger type to catch pulses with certain pulse width. Slope: The oscilloscope begins to trigger according to the signal rising or falling speed.
RIGOL Edge Trigger Edge Trigger Mode; An edge trigger determines whether the oscilloscope finds the trigger point on the rising or the falling edge of a signal. Select Edge trigger Mode to trigger on Rising edge, falling edge or rising & falling edge. Press Trigger MENU→Mode→Edge to display the edge trigger menu as follows.
