RIGOL Time Base Mode Press the MENU key in the horizontal control area at the front panel and then press the Time Base softkey to select the time base mode of the oscilloscope and the default is Y-T mode. Y-T Mode This mode is the main time base mode and is applicable to CH1-CH4 input channels. In this mode, the Y axis represents voltage and the X axis represents time. Note that only when this mode is enabled can the “Delayed” be turned on.
RIGOL X-Y Mode In this mode, the oscilloscope automatically turns on all the four channels (CH1-CH4) and the screen is divided into two coordinate areas, where, X1 and Y1 track the voltages of CH1 and CH2 and X2 and Y2 track the voltages of CH3 and CH4. The phase deviation of two signals with the same frequency can be easily measured via Lissajous method. The figure below shows the measurement schematic diagram also called “Ellipse Method” of the phase deviation.
RIGOL X-Y function can be used to measure the phase deviation occurred when the test signal passes through a circuit network. Connect the oscilloscope to the circuit to monitor the input and output signals of the circuit. Application example: Measure the phase deviation of the input signals of two channels. Method 1: Use Lissajous method 1. 2. 3. 4. Connect a sine signal to CH1 and then connect a sine signal with the same frequency and amplitude but a 90° phase deviation to CH2.
RIGOL When X-Y mode is turned on, “Delayed” will be turned off automatically.

RIGOL DS6000 User’s Guide 3-11
RIGOL 4 To Set the Sample System The contents of this chapter: Acquisition Mode Sample Mode Sample Rate Memory Depth Antialiasing DS6000 User’s Guide 4-1
RIGOL Acquisition Mode The acquisition mode is used to control how to generate waveform points from the sample points. Press ACQ Acquisition in the function menu at the front panel and use to select the desired acquisition mode (the default is normal), then press the knob to select this mode. You can press the Acquisition softkey continuously to switch the acquisition mode. ACQ Normal In this mode, the oscilloscope samples the signal at equal time interval to rebuild the waveform.
RIGOL The available range of the number of averages is from 2 to 8192 and the default is 2. When “Average” mode is selected, press the Averages menu and use to set the desired number of averages as the power function of 2.
RIGOL Peak Detect In this mode, the oscilloscope acquires the maximum and minimum values of the sample interval signal to get the envelope or the narrow pulse of the signal that might be lost. Use this mode to avoid signal confusion at the expense of exaggerating any noise. In this mode, the oscilloscope can display all the pulses whose pulse widths are at least as wide as the sample period.
RIGOL Sample Mode Press ACQ Sampling and press this softkey continuously to switch the sample mode (the default is real-time sample). Note that all the “Acquisition Mode” support real-time sample and equivalent sample. Real-time Sample In this mode, the oscilloscope samples and displays waveform within a trigger event. The maximum real-time sample rate of DS6000 is 5 GSa/s and the current sample rate is displayed under the Sa Rate menu.
RIGOL Sample Rate Sample rate refers to the process that the oscilloscope converts the analog signals to discrete data at a certain time interval and stores the data in order. Sample rate is the reciprocal of the time interval. Sample Rate 1 /Δ t The sample rate of this oscilloscope is up to 5 GSa/s.
RIGOL 3. Waveform Leakage: when the sample rate is too low, the waveform rebuilt by the sample data does not reflect all the actual signal information.
RIGOL Memory Depth Memory depth refers to the number of waveform points that the oscilloscope can store in a single trigger sample and it reflects the storage ability of the acquisition memory. DS6000 provides a memory depth up to 140 M points.
RIGOL Antialiasing At slower sweep speeds, the sample rate is reduced and a proprietary display algorithm is used to minimize the likelihood of aliasing. Press ACQ Anti_aliasing to turn on or off the antialiasing function. By default, Antialiasing is disabled. The displayed waveforms will be more susceptible to aliasing when this function is disabled.
RIGOL 5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope When working, the oscilloscope continuously acquires waveform data even if a valid trigger does not occur. However, only when valid triggers occur, can the display become stable. The trigger circuit guarantees that each sweep or sample starts from the position of the trigger event in the input signal, namely each sweep and sample are synchronous and the waveforms acquired overlap to display stable waveform.
RIGOL Trigger Source Press MENU Source in the trigger control area (TRIGGER) at the front panel to select the desired trigger source. Signals input from the analog channels CH1-CH4 and the [EXT TRIG] connector as well as the AC Line can all be used as the trigger source. MENU Analog channel input: Signals input from analog channels CH1-CH4 can all be used as the trigger source. No matter whether the input from the channel selected is displayed, the channel can work normally.
RIGOL Trigger Mode Trigger mode would influence the mode in which the oscilloscope searches for trigger event. The following is the schematic diagram of the acquisition memory from which you can see that the position of the trigger event is determined by the reference time point and the delay setting. Trigger Event Pre-trigger Buffer Post-trigger Buffer Acquisition memory Pre-trigger/ Delayed trigger: Acquire data before/after the trigger event.
RIGOL Auto: No matter whether the trigger condition is met, there is always waveform display. A horizontal line is displayed when no signal is input. When this mode is selected, the oscilloscope fills the pre-trigger buffer first and then search for a trigger while at the same time continues filling data. When the oscilloscope is searching for trigger, the data firstly filled into the pre-trigger buffer will overflow and be pushed out of the FIFO queue.
RIGOL Trigger Coupling Trigger coupling decides which kind of components will be transmitted to the trigger circuit. Note to distinguish it with “Channel Coupling”. DC: allow the DC and AC components to pass the trigger path. AC: block all the DC components and attenuate signals lower than 8 Hz. LF reject: block the DC components and reject the low frequency components lower than 8 kHz. HF reject: reject the high frequency components higher than 65 kHz.
RIGOL Trigger Holdoff Trigger holdoff could trigger complicated waveforms (e.g. pulse sequence) stably. Holdoff time is the time the oscilloscope waits to re-enable the trigger circuit. During the holdoff time, the oscilloscope will not trigger before the end of the holdoff time. Trigger position Holdoff Time Press MENU Set Up Holdoff in the trigger control area (TRIGGER) at the front panel and use to change the holdoff time (the default is 100 ns) until the waveform triggers stably.
RIGOL Trigger Type DS6000 has abundant trigger functions including multiple serial bus triggers.
