Safety Notices
Review the following safety precautions carefully before operating the instrument
to avoid any personal injury or damage to the instrument or products connected to
it.
To avoid potential hazards, use the instrument in a manner only as specified by this
user manual.
The instrument should be serviced by qualified personnel only.
To avoid fire or personal injury
*Use proper power cord.
Only the dedicated power cord of the products approved by the State should be
used.
Connect and disconnect accessories properly.
Do not connect or disconnect probes or test leads while they are connected to a
voltage source.
*Ground the instrument.
This generator is grounded through the protective earthing conductor of the power
cord. To avoid electric shock, the grounding conductor must be connected to earth
ground. Maker sure the instrument is properly grounded before connecting the
input or output terminals.
Observe all terminal ratings.
To avoid fire or shock, observe all ratings and marks on the instrument. Follow the
user manual for further rating information before making connections to the
instrument.
Do not operate without covers.
Do not operate your generator with covers or panels removed.
*Use proper fuse.

Logic Signal Output Module at a Glance
RIGOL company‟s Logic Signal Output Module which has 16-channel data outputs
and 2-channel clock outputs, making DG3000 series practical and meaningful Mixed
Signal Generator (MSG). The logic outputs can be configured according to user‟s
needs for specific timing of digital signals. The outputs can be used as logic circuit
signal sources, for testing and analysis of the logic circuit designs. General digital
signal protocols can be constructed easily; in conjunction with the analog channels,
real life mixed signals can be produced.
The Logic Signal Output Module has the following function features:
Module operation can be turned “ON” or “OFF”;
Two operation modes: “Depend” and “Independ”;
Two trigger modes: Auto, Burst;
Four protocols: RS232、I2C、SPI、PO;
User-defined protocol output based on PO protocol;
A variety of code pattern outputs: All „0‟, All „1‟, „01‟ turn, IEEE standard
pseudorandom sequence;
Online data editing of protocols;
Arbitrary output rate in the “Depend” work mode;
User-defined channels output, including data and clock lines (choose from
16+2);
Digital channel and analog channel outputs and respectively setting of
channels output or not;
Provide TTL, LVTTL, CMOS, LVCMOS and user-defined output voltage;
Remote configuration;
Embedded help.

Expressions in this manual:
The expressions of buttons in this manual are the same as those on the front panel.
The operation buttons are surrounded by a textbox, such as the Arb , and texts
with shadow, such as Edit Digital W, indicate the operation menu of editing digital
waveform in Arb function. The five menu keys at the right side of the LCD are
labeled as F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5 from top to bottom.
NOTE:
The DG3000 models which are interoperable with the Logic Signal Output Module
are: DG3121A、DG3101A and DG3061A.
