    Why Rigol MSO5204 doesn't recognize USB storage device?
    • A
      Ashley SmithAug 17, 2025
      If your Rigol Test Equipment is not recognizing the USB storage device, first ensure that the USB device works correctly. Confirm that the USB storage device uses FAT32-format Flash storage. The equipment does not support hardware storage types. Check that the USB storage device's capacity does not exceed 8 GB. Try restarting the instrument with the USB device inserted. If problems persist, further assistance may be needed.

      If the touch functions are not working correctly on your Rigol Test Equipment, first verify that the touch screen is enabled by pressing the Touch Lock switch. Ensure that the screen and your fingers are clean and free of oil or sweat. Check for any strong magnetic fields near the instrument, and if present, move the instrument away from the magnetic source. If the issue persists, further assistance may be required.

    Why is the waveform display ladder-like on Rigol MSO5204 Test Equipment?
    • M
      Melissa RogersAug 31, 2025
      A ladder-like waveform display on your Rigol Test Equipment can occur if the horizontal time base is too low. Increasing the horizontal time base should improve the display. Also, if the display type is set to 'Vector', switch to 'Dots' by pressing the Display Type button, as the lines between sample points in 'Vector' mode can cause this effect.
