To Prepare for Use
To Adjust the Supporting Legs
You can unfold the supporting legs to use them as stands to tilt the instrument
upwards for easier operation and observation, as shown in Figure 4. You can
also fold the supporting legs for easier storage or shipment when the
instrument is not in use.
Figure 4 To Adjust the Supporting Legs
To Connect to AC Power
The input AC power requirements of the oscilloscope are 100~240 V, 45~440
Hz. Please use the power cord provided in the accessories to connect the
oscilloscope to the AC power source via the power cord connector, as shown in
Figure 5.

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-tests. After the self-test, the
welcome screen is displayed.
To Set the System Language
MSO5000-E series oscilloscope supports multiple system languages. You can
press Utility Language to set the system language. You can also enable
the touch screen to perform the above menu operation.
To Connect the Probe
RIGOL provides the passive probe and the logic probe for MSO5000-E series.
For specific probe models, please refer to
MSO5000-E Series Datasheet . For
detailed technical information of the probes, please refer to the specified Probe
User Guide.
Connect the passive probe:
1. Connect the BNC terminal of the probe to an analog channel input
terminal of the oscilloscope on the front panel, as shown in Figure 6.

RIGOL
MSO5000-E Quick Guide 11
English
2. Connect the ground alligator clip or spring of the probe to the circuit
ground terminal, and then connect the probe tip to the circuit point to be
tested.
Figure 6 To Connect the Passive Probe
After you connect the passive probe, check the probe function and probe
compensation adjustment before making measurements. For detailed
procedures, refer to "Function Inspection" in this manual and the "Probe
Compensation" section introduced in
MSO5000-E User Guide .
Connect the logic probe:
1. Disconnect the device under test (DUT) from the power source.
2. Connect the output terminal of the logic probe to the digital channel input
terminal on the front panel of the oscilloscope in the correct direction, as
shown in Figure 7.
3. Connect the other terminal of the logic probe to the signal terminal under
test. RIGOL's MSO5000-E series supplies PLA2216 active logic probe
option. To apply to different application scenarios, PLA2216 provides two
connection methods to connect the signal under test. For details, refer to
PLA2216 Active Logic Probe User Guide .

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
relevant procedures specified in "Probe Compensation".
WARNING
To avoid electric shock when using the 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.
Probe Compensation
When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes
to make them match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated
or poorly compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy or errors.
The probe compensation procedures are as follows:
Tip
The probe compensation signal can only be used for probe compensation
adjustment and cannot be used for calibration.

RIGOL

To Use the Built-in Help System
The help system of this oscilloscope provides instructions for all the function
keys on the front panel and their corresponding menu keys. The steps for
opening the built-in help system are as follows:
1. Press Utility System Help, and then the "Help" menu is
displayed
on the screen. You can also use the touch screen function, tap the
function navigation icon at the lower-left corner of the touch screen
to enable the function navigation. Tap the "Help" icon, and then the "Help"
menu is displayed on the screen.
2. Press Content on the front panel or tap the "Content" menu item, and
then the help information is displayed on the screen, as shown in Figure
15. The help interface mainly consists of two sections. The left section
lists "Help Options", and the right section is the "Help Display Area".
Figure 15 Help Information
Help Options Help Display Area

RIGOL
18 MSO5000-E Quick Guide
English
After opening the help interface, you can get its help information in the "Help
Display Area" through the following three methods:
Method 1:
For the keys, you can directly press the front-panel keys (except the Power key
, the Menu off key and Back key) to obtain the corresponding help
information.
For the buttons, you can rotate the knob or press down the knob to get the
corresponding help information (except the multifunction knob ). As the
function of rotating the knob is different from that of pressing down the knob,
these two operations will give you different help information.
Method 2:
In the "Help Options", rotate the multifunction knob to switch among the
help options to get the corresponding help information.
Method 3:
Enable the touch screen and tap the desired help option to get the
corresponding help information.
Tip
Help information for other keys and buttons:
Power key : powers on/off the instrument.
Menu off key: displays or hides menus. By default, menus are
displayed. If menus are hidden, pressing this key can display
the menus again.
Back key: returns to the previous menu or the last set function
menu.
Multifunction knob : In non-menu-operation mode, rotate
this knob to adjust the brightness of waveform display. In
menu-operation mode, for the menu item that has multiple
parameters under it, when you press the menu softkey, rotate
the knob to select the parameter item, then press down the
knob to select it (sometimes, the specified parameter item can
be selected by rotating the knob).
It can also be used to modify parameters, input a filename, etc.
If the menu item is grayed out, you cannot press the corresponding
front-panel menu key to obtain the help information. What you can
do is only to follow the above Method 2 or 3 to get the help
information.
