Measurement Category
Measurement Category
MSO2000A/DS2000A series digital oscilloscopes can make measurements in
Measurement Category I.
WARNING
This oscilloscope can only be used for measurements within its specified
measurement categories.
Measurement Category Definitions
Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly
connected to MAINS. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from
MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS derived circuits. In the latter case,
transient stresses are variable; for that reason, the transient withstand capability of
the equipment is made known to the user.
Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly
connected to the low voltage installation. Examples are measurements on household
appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.
Measurement category III is for measurements performed in the building installation.
Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring,
including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed
installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for
example. Stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation.
Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the
low-voltage installation. Examples are electricity meters and measurements on
primary overcurrent protection devices and ripple control units.
Ventilation Requirement
This oscilloscope uses fan to force cooling. Please make sure that the air intake and
exhaust areas are free from obstructions and have free air. When using the
oscilloscope in a bench-top or rack setting, provide at least 10 cm clearance beside,
above and behind the instrument for adequate ventilation.
WARNING
Inadequate ventilation may cause temperature increase which would
damage the instrument. So please keep the instrument well ventilated
during operation and inspect the intake and fan regularly.

Installation (overvoltage) Category
This product is powered by mains conforming to installation (overvoltage) category
II.
WARNING
Make sure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by thunderbolt) can
reach the product, or else the operator might expose to danger of electric
shock.
Installation (overvoltage) Category Definitions
Installation (overvoltage) category I refers to signal level which is applicable to
equipment measurement terminals connected to the source circuit. In these
terminals, precautions are done to limit the transient voltage to the corresponding
low level.
Installation (overvoltage) category II refers to the local power distribution level
which is applicable to equipment connected to the AC line(AC power).
Pollution Degree
Degree 2
Pollution Degree Definitions
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. The
pollution has no influence. For example: a clean room or air-conditioned office
environment.

RIGOL
MSO2000A/DS2000A Quick Guide
V
Pollution degree 2: Normally only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally
a temporary conductivity caused by condensation may occur. For example: general
indoor environment.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-conductive pollution
occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is expected. For
example: Sheltered outdoor environment.
Pollution degree 4: Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through
conductive dust, rain, or snow. For example: outdoorlocations.
Safety Class
Class 1 –Grounded Product
General Care and Cleaning
Care:
Do not store or leave the instrument in where the instrument will be exposed to
direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Cleaning:
Clean the instrument regularly according to its operating conditions.
1. Disconnect the instrument from all power sources.
2. Clean the external surfaces of the instrument with a soft cloth dampened with
mild detergent or water. Avoid having any water or other objects into the
chassis via the heat dissipation hole. When cleaning the LCD, take care to avoid
scarifying it.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the instrument, do not expose it to caustic liquids.
WARNING
To avoid short-circuit resulting from moisture or personal injuries, ensure
that the instrument is completely dry before connecting it to the power
supply.

upwards for stable placement of the oscilloscope as well as betteroperation and
observation.
Figure 3 To Adjust the Supporting Legs
To Connect to AC Power Supply
This oscilloscope can accept100-240V, 45-440 Hz AC power supply. Please use the
power cord supplied with the accessories to connect the oscilloscope to the power
supplyas shown in the figure below. Whenthe oscilloscope is powered onand the
Power key at the lower-left corner of the front panel is blinking.

Turn-on Checkout
When the oscilloscope is connected to power, press the Power key at the
lower-left corner of the front panel to start the oscilloscope. During the start-up
process, the oscilloscope performs a series of self-test items and you can hear the
sound of relay switching. After the self-test, the welcome screen is displayed. The
instrument is installed with the trial versions of the options before leaving factory and
the remaining time is about 2,000 minutes. The "Current Options"dialog box will be
displayed if your instrument has currently installedthe trial versions of options. From
this dialog box you can view the types, names, versions and the remaining time of
the options currently installed.
To Connect the Probe
RIGOLprovides passive probes for DS2000A, and provides passive probes and logic
probes for MSO2000A. For the model of the probes, please refer to
MSO2000A&DS2000A Series Datasheet . For detailed technical information of the
probes, please refer to corresponding Probe User’s Guide.
Connect the Passive Probe:
1. Connect the BNC terminal of the probe to an analog channel inputof the
oscilloscope onthe front panel.
2. Connect the ground alligator clip or spring of the probeto the circuit ground
terminal and then connect the probe tip to the circuit point under test.
Figure 5 To Connect the Passive Probe

RIGOL

After you connect the passive probe, check the probe function and probe
compensation adjustment before making measurements. For detailed procedures,
refer to "Function Inspection" and "Probe Compensation" sections in this
manual.
Connect the Logic Probe:
1. Connect the single-wire terminal of the logic probe to the [LOGIC D0-D15]
digital channel terminalonthe front panel of MSO2000A in the correct direction.
2. Connect the other terminal of the logic probe tothe signal under test. RIGOL
provides MSO2000A with the standard RPL2316 logic probe. To cater to different
application scenarios, RPL2316 provides three connection methods for the signal
under test. For details, please refer to the RPL2316 Logic Probe User’s Guide .
Figure 6 To Connect the Logic Probe
Note: The digital channel input terminal does not support hot plugging. Please do
not insert or pull out the logic probe when the instrument is in power-on state.

Function Inspection
1. Press StorageDefault to restore the oscilloscope to its default configuration.
2. Connect the groundalligator clip of the probe to the "GroundTerminal"as shown
in the figure below.
3. Use the probe to connect the input terminal of CH1 and the "Compensation
Signal Output Terminal" of the oscilloscope.
Figure 7 To Use the Compensation Signal
4. Set the attenuationon the probe to 10X. ThenpressAUTO.
5. Observe the waveform on the display. In normal condition, the display should be
a square waveform as shown in the figure below:
Figure 8 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. Do not touch the metallic
part of the probe when the probe is connected to high voltage source.

Tip
The signal output from the probe compensation connector can only be used
for probe compensation adjustment and cannot be used for calibration.
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 or errors. The probe
compensation proceduresare as follows:
1. Perform Step 1, 2, 3 and 4 specified in"Function Inspection".
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the waveforms in the
following figure.
Figure 9 Probe Compensation
3. Use a nonmetallic driver to adjust the low-frequency compensation adjustment
hole on the probe until the displayed waveform is displayed as the
"Perfectlycompensated"in the figure above.
