DS4000 Calibration Certificate 
How do I check the trigger rate of a DS6 or DS4 series of oscilloscope? You can use any unused channel on the DS4 or DS6 scope as a counter. Simply connect a BNC cable from the Trigger out connection on the back of the scope to the unused channel. Configure the Trigger connector as a Trigger Output and the unused channel DS4000 Packing list Here is a sample of the DS4000 series of oscilloscopes packing list. Can you disable the AUTOSET button on the DS4 and DS6 series? Not at this time. What products are LXI compliant? The attached document lists the LXI Compliant instruments. Does the DG4000 support WFM waveform file transfers from RIGOL scopes? Many RIGOL scopes can be used to capture data and then have that data transferred and replayed using a DG family of arbitrary waveform generator. The DG4000 series does not support USB cable transfer of WFM files at this time.It does support wavef Enabling Maximum Recording Length The DS2, 4, and 6000 series of oscilloscopes feature powerful record, playback, and analyze capabilities. Here are simple instructions on how to enable the maximum number of available frames for your scope. RP7150 Users Guide PCK-100 Users Guide Here are the calibration instructions for use with the PCK-100 Kit. DS2000 DS4000 DS6000 Firmware Upgrade Procedure Here are the instructions for upgrading the firmware on your DS2, 4, or 6000 series of scopes. Maximum Acquisition times for DS2000 DS4000 DS6000 scopes Here are timing charts showing maximum acquisition times for some of our deep memory scopes. DS6000 and DS4000 (Version before 00.01.00.00.06) WFM converter Here is a small application that will convert waveform files (extension *.WFM) to CSV text files. 
Option license activation process for the DS2000, DS4000, and DS6000 Oscilloscopes Here are instructions for activating licenses for the DS2000, DS4000, and DS6000 series of oscilloscopes. What is the capacitance of the RP6150 and RP6150A passive probe? 1.6pF. Square wave displayed as sine wave on an oscilloscope. A scope user attempting to view a square wave on an oscilloscope might view a sine wave of the same frequency in place of a square wave. This is not a necessarily a sign of a defect with the scope or the generator, however an effect of the constituent hig Are your products UL or CSA listed? At this time, many of our products are C TUV USA listed. Per the TUV website, http://www.tuvasi.com/en/tests-and-analysis/information-about-nrtl-tests.htmlThe C TUV US mark is recognized as the equivalent and direct replacement to the UL and CSA m When I plug in my instrument via USB, I get a Windows Page Fault error ( Blue Screen of Death / BSoD ). There is a known issue with the IVI VISA Shared components version.See attached document for more details. What data set size is used to calculate the FFT on the DS series of scopes? The FFT is calculated using the displayed data set.DS1000E/D/B/CA series scopes = 600 Data pointsDS4000 series = 700 pointsDS6000 series = 700 points Software Compatibility The attached PDF file describes Windows 7 Compatibility Issues. Help File Error: Navigation to web page cancelled. Some instrument manuals are compiled HTML files with extensions ending in .CHM. On occasion, they have shown Navigation to web page cancelled. Here are some steps to help solve that error. Where do I find instrument drivers for LabVIEW? http://www.ni.com/downloads/idnet/ Rigol Scopes VISA Driver Installation / Rigol’s UltraScope software not detect Rigol scope attached to PC via USB OR User receives Run Time Error '48': File not found VISA32.DLL error message when UltraScope is launched. The user either has not installed the latest available National Instruments VISA Runtime engine or the version of National Instrument’s VISA Runtime Engine included on the CD that the user installed is outdated.In both cases, the recommended solution VISA Runtime for Apple OS X To use a VISA compatible Rigol instrument under Apple OS X, the user must install National Instruments VISA run-time engine for OS XAs of this writing the latest OS X VISA run-time engine from National Instruments is NI-VISA 5.0NI-VISA 5.0 can be Can you set up any RIGOL scopes to stop triggering after a specific averaging number? Not at this time. The average acquisition mode for the DS1000E/D, DS1000CA, DS1000B, DS4000, and DS6000 scopes are identical in function. They collect a boxcar average of the last acquisitions on a rolling basis. How do I configure a DS1000B Series Oscilloscope to return maximum data lengths? This note covers how to configure the DS1000B series of oscilloscope to return the maximum data length.This can be useful for storing to a USB memory stick.

Why does my data not appear to have 8 bits of resolution? The displayed data is a subset of the actual total measurement range. This is mainly due to a smaller number of vertical pixels than bits available. See attached for more details. Bits vs. dBs Here are instructions on converting bits of resolution to dBs. Benefits of deep memory Modern oscilloscopes feature many powerful tools to help you get your job done. Here are some of the benefits of deep memory. My Instrument IVI Driver does not appear in the LabVIEW tools palette. You may need to manually find and convert the IVI driver. See attachment for more details. The instrument not recognized over the USB bus In some cases, an instrument may not be recognized over the USB bus. Here are some troubleshooting hints to help. -
