Using a MASK over the bus with the 1000Z Scope

Using Pass/Fail mask on the DS1000Z is a great way to debug signals. Controlling the mask settings over the bus can be tricky.Here we show an example for Mask Operation.First, get the signal you want on the scope display....

MSO5000, DS7000, MSO7000, MSO8000 BIN file conversion

The oscilloscope models including the MSO5000, DS7000, MSO7000, and MSO8000 all include the ability to create compact .BIN file types for saving to USB sticks or the internal hard drive.The .BIN files are easy ways to save and archive display and memory data. Creating these files is done from the Storage/Save Wave menu. ...

Missing Trial Licenses on the DS1000Z Series

All new DS1000Z series oscilloscopes are being shipped with all of the instrument's options fully activated.  This elimenates the need for trial licenses on the instrument.  Instruments with serial numbers DS1ZA2001**** or DS1ZB20001**** and larger have their licenses fully enabled.To confirm this you can view which op...

Record Mode on the MSO5000, DS7000 and MSO8000

You can use Pass/Fail measurements for a number of applications. With this scope family you can set it up to stop or continue when there is a failure, you can have the instrument make a beep or take a screen shot when a failure occurs.  You can create masks with varying error budgets around a target signal, and you can even use the record mode to record all the failures as frames. In this way, yo...

The MSO5000, DS7000 and MSO8000’s cursor capability

The MSO5000, DS7000 and MSO8000 can all use several different types of cursors to measure the signal.  These include manual, Track, XY and Measure.  Manual cursors allow you to set the X and Y relationship of the cursors to manually measure the signal.  Track cursors allow you to move in the X direction and the instrument keeps the cursor on the signal. XY cursors will be grayed out under norma...

How to create a reference on the MSO5000, DS7000 and MSO8000

A reference signal can be created and stored on the scope to compare against later on.  It can either be save and recalled later or shown on the display. To save a reference press "Ref" and then press "SaveToRef" this will save a reference of your signal and display it behind the signal.  If you would like to save multiple references you r will need to change the current reference from Ref1 to R...

Search and Navigation capability on the MSO5000, DS7000 and MSO8000

Search and Navigation is a great feature to easily move around on long complex signals with multiple trigger events.  The Search and Navigation feature can be used when either an edge, pulse, runt, slop, RS232, I2C or SPI signal is being trigger on and can allow you to select a desired trigger point.For this example I h...

Saving csv data on the DS/MSO1000Z series scopes

DS/MSO1000Z series scopes utilize USB for saving csv files to an external USB memory stick. 12 meg of csv data can be saved in approximately 30 minutes. Once an acquisition is made you can save the csv file using these steps:Press the Storage key on the keypad and then select CSV on the right side of the display. Select ...

Update Firmware on the MSO5000 & DS7000 Series Digital Oscilloscope

To update the firmware push the keypad Utility key followed by System at the bottom right corner of the display:...

How to use the MSO5000, DS7000 and MSO8000 Logic Analyzer different capabilities

The logic analyzer allows you to view up to 16 digital channels at once along with group them and label them to make your measurements easier to view. To activate the logic analyzer, press the “LA” button or the “L” section at the bottom of the display.  Note that the LA channels will allow you some vertical scaling control within the LA menu,...

Inverted color printing with the Rigol DS2000/A, DS4000, and DS6000 Oscilloscopes

The DS series of oscilloscopes can save display images directly to an external USB memory device using the Quick Print feature.This can be extremely helpful in documenting the input waveforms as well as the instrument settings and any measurements that may be active on the display. ...
