Unless you are very experienced with an oscilloscope then it is not advisable to probe high voltages or high power sources. It is possible to electrocute yourself or damage the oscilloscope. Special oscilloscope probes and specific connection methods are needed for probing high voltage and mains electricity signals. The oscilloscopes are replaceable, you are not! We want you to be safe.
 
Oscilloscopes can be heavy instruments. Bend at the knees when lifting and ask for help if you find the instrument too heavy to move.
 
Do not leave oscilloscope probes (or any wires) hanging over the edge of a bench or on the floor.

The Basics

An oscilloscope is a piece of electrical test equipment which allows you to visually see an electrical signal on a display.

The Rigol DS1074Z-S PLUS is a high quality four channel 70MHz bandwidth digital storage oscilloscope with built in 25MHz bandwidth 2 channel arbitrary waveform generator and the option for external logic analyzer probe. The logic analyzer probe is purchased seperately - or made!

Safety

You must read the safety documentation in this link before using this equipment.

Calibration

For last calibration date, check the side of the unit.

It is common to perform a basic oscilloscopes calibration check before each use against a known calibration source to confirm it is suitable for use. Most oscilloscopes have a calibration signal output point on the front panel. Some have rear panel outputs.

An instrument like this is not expected to require calibration for typical hackspace usage. The onboard signal generator can potentially be used for calibration. The instrument also features an internal self cal. This is accessed from the Utility menu. Be certain to keep probes disconnected from the instrument while performing this test, as failure to do so may damage the instrument.

Induction

Ask on the mailing list for volunteers to demonstrate the use of any of the test equipment.

Because of the expense and complexity of this unit, it is highly recommended that you seek induction before attempting to use it.
