What to do if my Rigol Test Equipment oscilloscope doesn't display any waveform after pressing the RUN/STOP button?
- K
  Krista BeardAug 8, 2025
  If your Rigol Test Equipment oscilloscope isn't showing a waveform after you press RUN/STOP, here's what to check: * See if the Trigger Mode is set to “Normal” or “Single” and whether the trigger level is outside the signal range. If the trigger level is out of range, adjust it using the knob or by pressing the 50% button. * Alternatively, set the Trigger Mode to “AUTO”. * You can also push the AUTO button to attempt to automatically display the waveform.

  If your Rigol Test Equipment oscilloscope screen remains dark after powering on, try these steps: * First, check the power cord connection to ensure it's secure. * Next, verify that the power switch is turned on. * If both are fine, restart the oscilloscope. If the problem persists after these steps, further assistance may be needed.

Why doesn't a waveform appear on my Rigol DS1000B Test Equipment after signal acquisition?
- J
  Jennifer BurtonAug 17, 2025
  If a waveform doesn't appear on your Rigol Test Equipment after signal acquisition, consider the following checks: * Ensure the probes are correctly connected to the signals and firmly attached to the channels. * Also, verify that the probes are properly connected to the object being tested and that the circuit generates a signal at the test point. * Finally, try repeating the acquisition.

How to get a stable waveform display on Rigol Test Equipment oscilloscope?
- C
  carol00Aug 21, 2025
  To achieve a stable waveform display on your Rigol Test Equipment oscilloscope, consider these adjustments: * Check that the Trigger Source is set to the channel you are using. * Verify the Trigger Type: use “Edge” for normal signals and “Video” for VIDEO signals. * Try switching the coupling to HF Rejection or LF Rejection to filter out noise that might be disturbing the trigger. * Adjust the trigger Sensitivity and the hold off time.

What causes incorrect measurement results on Rigol Test Equipment (10x higher or lower)?
- J
  Joseph ChandlerAug 26, 2025
  If the measurement result on your Rigol Test Equipment is significantly off (10 times higher or lower than expected), the most likely cause is a mismatch between the probe attenuation and the channel attenuation. Check if the probe attenuation setting matches the channel attenuation setting.

How do I resolve a ladder-like waveform display on my Rigol DS1000B Test Equipment oscilloscope?
- M
  Matthew Harper MDAug 30, 2025
  If your Rigol Test Equipment oscilloscope displays a signal as a ladder-like waveform: * The time base setting may be too slow. Turn the horizontal knob to increase the horizontal resolution. * Alternatively, the display Type might be set to “Vectors”. Set it to “Dots” mode to improve the display.

Why can't my Rigol DS1000B connect to a PC or PictBridge printer via USB?
- A
  avilajasonSep 3, 2025
  If your Rigol Test Equipment is unable to connect to a PC or PictBridge printer via USB: * When connecting to a PC, if you see an “Unknown device” message or a prompt indicating a scanner or camera was found, go to the Utility menu, choose I/O Setting, and check the USB Device menu. If it's set to “PictBridge”, switch it to “Auto Detect” or “Computer”. * If connecting to a PictBridge printer is unsuccessful, switch the USB Device menu to “Auto Detect” or “PictBridge”. In either case, restarting the oscilloscope may be necessary.
