RIGOL Quick Start General Inspection 1. Inspect the shipping container for damage Keep the damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has passed both electrical and mechanical tests. The consigner or carrier shall be liable for the damage to instrument resulting from shipment. RIGOL would not be responsible for free maintenance/rework or replacement of the unit. 2.
RIGOL Handle Adjustment To adjust the handle position of DG2000 Function/ Arbitrary Waveform Generator, please grip the handle by the sides and pull it outward. Then, make the handle rotate to the desired position. The operating methods are shown below.
RIGOL The Front/Rear Panel This section will make a brief introduction and description for the operation and functions of the Front/ Rear Panel of DG2000 Series Function/ Arbitrary Waveform Generator. Front Panel at a Glance DG2000 has clear and simple front panel. The Front Panel has a knob, functional keys and menu softkeys. The 6 grey keys below the screen are menu softkeys, with the help of which, you can choose different options on the current menu.
RIGOL Rear Panel at a Glance 10MHz 10MHz Reference Input Reference Output Terminal Terminal Modulation Input Terminal 10/100 Ethernet External Digital Output Trig/FSK/Burst GPIB ( IEEE 488 ) USB Device RS232 Power Socket Main Power Switch Signs for the panel keys in this manual: The signs for the panel keys in this manual are the same as the panel keys.
RIGOL Device Connection Power Connection Connect the power socket and AC supply with power cord attached to the instrument. Turn on the power switch at the rear panel to power on the generator, then press the power key on the front panel to start the instrument immediately. If start abnormally, please check according to the following steps: 1． Check if the power cord is normally connected and the power switch on the rear panel has been turned on. 2． Check if the fuse is intact, or esle please replace it.
RIGOL User Interface DG2000 Series Function/ Arbitrary Waveform Generator provide two display modes: Menu and Graph. These two display modes can be switched to each other by pressing the /A key. Menu Display Mode Under the Menu display mode, the display interface is divided into these parts: state, waveform icon, operation menu, and parameter display. See the figure below.
RIGOL To Set a Waveform At the left of the operation panel, there is a set of keys with waveform icon. The exercise below will help you familiarized with the waveform selection settings. The instructions of the waveform setting are all carried out in the Menu Display Mode. 1. Press Sine, the waveform icon turns into Sine with a “Sine” typeface in the state area. DG2000 Series Generator can generate Sine signal with frequency from 1μHz to 40MHz.
RIGOL As shown in the figure above, the default signal parameters are: 1kHz Frequency, 5.0 Vpp Amplitude, 0 Vdc Offset and 50% Duty Cycle. 3. Press Ramp, the waveform icon turns into Ramp with a “Ramp” typeface in the state area. DG2000 Series Generator can generate Ramp signal with frequency from 1μHz to 400 kHz and variable Symmetry. By setting Frequency/Period, Amplitude/ High Level, Offset/ Low level, and Symmetry, the Ramp signal with different parameters can be generated.
RIGOL As shown in the figure above, the default signal parameters are: 1kHz Frequency, 5.0 Vpp Amplitude, 0 Vdc Offset, 20% Duty Cycle and 50ns Edge Time. 5. Press Noise, the waveform icon turns into Noise with a “Noise” typeface in the state area. DG2000 Series Generator can generate Noise signal with Band Width up to 20MHz. By setting Amplitude/ High Level, Offset/ Low level, the Noise signal with different parameters can be generated. As shown in the figure above, the default signal parameters are: 5.
RIGOL As shown in the figure above, the default Exponential Rise Signal parameters are: 1kHz Frequency, 5.0 Vpp Amplitude and 0 Vdc Offset. 7. Digital is a reserved function key for the Logic Signal Output Module. Note: Description of the parameter range based on the DG2041A model in this section.
RIGOL To Use the Mod/ Sweep/Burst Function As shown in the figure below, there are three keys on the front panel, which are used for Mod, Sweep and Burst settings. The instructions below will help you familiarize with the setting of these functions. 1. Press Mod, a modulated waveforms will be generated. DG2000 Series can generate AM, FM, PM, PWM and FSK modulate waveforms. Parameters are set by using the menu softkeys.
RIGOL 3. Press Burst, Burst for Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse or Arbitrary waveform can be generated (Noise can only be used in the gated Burst). Term Explanation Burst: Output Waveforms with set cycle times Burst can last for certain times of waveform cycle (N-Cycle Burst) or be controlled by external gated signals (Gated Burst). Burst applies to all kinds of waveforms, but noise can only be used in gated burst. Generally it is called BURST function within every Signal Generator.
RIGOL To Trigger/Output As shown in the figure below, there are two keys on the right side of the operation panel, which are used to set Trigger and Output Control. The instruction below will help you familiarize with these functions. 1. Press Trigger, choose internal/external or manual Trigger (Manual Trigger can only be used in Sweep and N-Cycle Burst) The default setting for Trigger is “Internal”.
RIGOL To Use the Digital Input As shown in the figure below, there are two groups of keys on the operation panel, which are the direction keys, the knob and the keyboard. The instruction below will help you familiarize with the Digital Input Function. Direction Keys and the Knob Keyboard 1. Use the Direction keys to move the cursor left or right. Rotate the knob to change a digit (clockwise to increase 1), and the range of digit is 0~9. 2.
RIGOL To Use the Store/Utility/Help Function As shown in the figure below, there are three keys on the operation panel, which are used to call the store/recall, utility and help function. The instruction below will help you familiarize with these Functions. 1. The Store/Recall key is used to store waveform data and configure information. 2.
RIGOL Troubleshooting 1. If the screen does not turn on even if the generator is on, please follow the steps below: (1) Check if the power is correctly connected. (2) Check if the power switch is really on. (3) Restart the instrument after taking the above steps. (4) If it does not work correctly, contact RIGOL for our service. 2. If the settings are correct but no waveform is generated, please follow the steps below: (1) Check if the Signal Line is correctly connected to the [Output] terminal.
