Perform a Self-Cal on a DS1000Z
To perform a Self -Cal on the DS1000Z first disconnect all of the probes from the instrument. Then press “Utility” -> arrow down -> “Self-Cal” -> “Start”.
DS1202Z-E Unable to Connect to UltraScope
If you receive the following error when connecting the DS1202Z-E to Ultra Scope that is because the oscilloscope is newer then the UltraSigma release.
To solve this issue a change needs to be made to the init file to support this model. In the image below you can see the default location of the init file and the edit I made is highlighted. Linked below is also a copy of the init file. You can also just replace your copy with the version linked to below. After that close and restart UltraSigma and then the software will operate correctly.
Probe Compensation
In Order to insure system signal fidelity it is critical that probes be compensated to the instrument, Over or under compensated probes can cause distortions of your measurements and bad results.
Probe Basics
Making connection to your device under test is critical to accurate measurements. Learn the basics parts of the probing system and what they do.
Measure Delay and Phase Offset
Quickly determine the delay and phase between multiple channels using standard delay and phase measurements helps to identify system interactions and timing problems.
Making your first measurement
Provides and overview on how to quickly and easily start making measurements on your oscilloscope.
Introduction to Triggering
Overview of what triggering is, why it is important, and some key terminology associated with it.
Creating Arbitrary Waves from Scope Captures
How to easily capture a problematic signal and reproduce it for debugging purposes.
Controlling your instrument over the LAN with UltraScope
Seamlessly connect, control and monitor your scope via ethernet using the RIGOL UltraScope utility. Perfect for remote control, monitoring, and distributed environments.
Bandwidth
A basic concept in determining what scope you need is understanding the key performance characteristic of an oscilloscope, bandwidth. Selecting proper bandwidth insures reliable and accurate measurements.
Horizontal System and Controls
Horizontal controls allow for positioning the signal on the time axis (X axis) as well as adjust the time based scaling options,
