RIGOL Figure 7 Square Waveform 6. Use the same method to test the other channels. If the square waveforms actually shown do not match that in the figure above, please perform “Probe Compensation”. WARNING To avoid electric shock during the use of probe, please make sure that the insulated wire of the probe is in good condition and do not touch the metallic part of the probe when the probe is connected to high voltage source.
RIGOL Probe Compensation When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes to match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or poorly compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy and error. The probe compensation procedures are as follows: 1. Perform step 1, 2, 3 and 4 of “Function Inspection”. 2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following figures.

RIGOL Troubleshooting The commonly encountered failures and their solutions are listed below. When you encounter those failures, please solve them following the corresponding steps. If the problem remains still, please contact RIGOL and provide your device information (acquisition method: Utility System System Info). 1. The screen is still dark (no display) after power on: (1) Check if the power is correctly connected. (2) Check whether the fuse is burned out.
RIGOL complies with the attenuation ratio of the probe. 4. There is waveform display but not stable: (1) Check the trigger signal source: check whether the Source item at the trigger panel 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.
RIGOL 7. Fail to connect PC through USB: (1) Check if the USB data cable is correctly connected to the oscilloscope and PC. (2) Check if the USB data is in good condition and if needed, restart the oscilloscope. 8. The USB disk can not be recognized: (1) Check if the USB disk can work normally. (2) Make sure that the USB disk being used is flash type. This oscilloscope does not support hardware type USB disk. (3) Make sure if the capacity of the USB disk is too large.
