Chapter 1 Overview RIGOL Chapter 1 Overview Test Preparations Before performing the test, make the following preparations. 1. Self-test 2. Warm-up (make sure that the instrument has been running for at least 30 minutes) 3. Self-calibration Self-test When the oscilloscope is connected to power, press the Power key at the lower-left corner of the front panel to start the oscilloscope. (You can also press Utility System Power status, and select "Switch On".
RIGOL Chapter 2 Performance Verification Test Overview Chapter 2 Performance Verification Test This chapter takes MSO5152-E as an example to illustrate the performance verification test methods and procedures of MSO5000-E series digital oscilloscope. Fluke 9500B is used in this manual for the tests. You can also use other devices that fulfill the "Specification" in Table 2-1.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Performance Verification Test Overview Impedance Test Specification Input Impedance Analog Channel 1 MΩ: 0.99 MΩ to 1.01 MΩ Test Connection Diagram MSO5000-E Fluke 9500B Figure 2-1 Impedance Test Connection Diagram Test Procedures 1. Connect the active head of Fluke 9500B to CH1 of the oscilloscope, as shown in the figure above. 2. Configure the oscilloscope: 1) Press 1 in the vertical control area (Vertical) on the front panel to enable CH1.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Performance Verification Test Overview DC Gain Accuracy Test Specification DC Gain Accuracy Specification ±3% of Full Scale [1] Note[1]: Full scale = 8 × Current Vertical Scale. 500 uV/div1, 1 mV/div, and 2 mV/div are a magnification of 4 mV/div setting. For vertical accuracy calculations, use full scale of 32 mV for 500 uV/div1, 1 mV/div, and 2 mV/div vertical sensitivity setting.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Performance Verification Test Overview 3) 4) current vertical scale respectively. Repeat Step 3-7 and record the test results. Calculate the relative error of each vertical scale: |(Vavg1 - Vavg2) - (Vout1 Vout2)|/Full Scale × 100%. 10. Turn off CH1. Test the relative error of each scale of CH2 using the method above and record the test results.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Performance Verification Test Overview Bandwidth Test The bandwidth test verifies the bandwidth performance of the oscilloscope by testing the amplitude loss of the oscilloscope under test at full bandwidth.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Performance Verification Test Overview 8. Enable the effective value measurement function. Read and record Vrms2. 9. Calculate the amplitude loss: Amplitude Loss (dB) = 20 × lg (Vrms2/Vrms1). 10. Keep the other settings of the oscilloscope in Step 3 unchanged and set the vertical scale to 500 mV/div. 11. Output a Sine with 1 MHz frequency and 3 Vpp amplitude via Fluke 9500B. 12. Repeat Step 5. 13.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Performance Verification Test Overview Bandwidth Limit Test The bandwidth limit test verifies the 20 MHz bandwidth limit function of the oscilloscope by testing the amplitude losses of the oscilloscope under test at the bandwidth limits.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Performance Verification Test Overview 10. Calculate the amplitude loss: Amplitude Loss (dB) = 20 × lg (Vrms2/Vrms1), and compare the result with the specification. At this point, the amplitude loss should be within the specification range. 11. Keep the other settings of the oscilloscope in Step 3 unchanged and set the vertical scale to 500 mV/div. 12. Output a Sine with 1 MHz frequency and 3 Vpp amplitude via Fluke 9500B. 13. Repeat Step 5. 14.
