The Basics

An oscilloscope is a piece of electrical test equipment which allows you to visually see an electrical signal shown 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!

Specification

  • Rigol DS1074Z-S PLUS
  • Digital storage oscilloscope
  • 4 channel analog input
  • Bandwidth: 70MHz, (hackable)
  • 1GS/s real time sample rate

  • 2 channel 25MHz waveform generator
  • PLUS model allows optional upgrade (extra cost) to make it a MSO1000Z-S by purchase of the external digital logic probes (RPL1116, 16 channel + 16 ground)
  • 7 inch WVGA multiple intensity levels waveform display
  • Ultravision technology
  • Optional analysis and decode packages
  • Hacks: TBD
  • Issues: TBD
  • Manual: TBD

Calibration

For last cal 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.

Induction

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

Safety

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.
