• Restart: Click or tap the function navigation icon at the lower-left corner of the screen to open the function navigation. Click or tap the Restart icon, then a prompt message “Are you sure to reboot?” is displayed. Click or tap OK to restart the instrument.
• Shutdown: Click or tap the function navigation icon at the lower-left corner of the screen to open the function navigation. Click or tap the Shutdown icon, then a prompt message “Are you sure to shutdown?” is displayed. Click or tap OK to shut down the instrument.

5.3 To Set the System Language
This oscilloscope supports multiple languages. You can click or tap > Utility

Setup > Language to set the system language.
5.4 To Connect the Probe
RIGOL provides passive and active probes for DS70000 series. For specific probe models, please refer to DS70000 Datasheet. For detailed technical information of the
probes, please refer to the corresponding Probe User Guide.
To Connect the Passive Probe

1. Connect the BNC terminal of the probe to an analog channel input terminal of the oscilloscope on the front panel as shown in Figure 5.2 .
2. Connect the ground alligator clip or spring of the probe to the circuit ground terminal, and then connect the probe tip to the circuit point to be tested.

To Prepare for Use

After you connect the passive probe, check the probe function and probe compensation adjustment before making measurements. For detailed procedures, refer to “Function Inspection” and “Probe Compensation”.
To Connect the Active Probe
Take PVA8000 (active differential probe) as an example.

1. Connect the probe head to the preamp of the active probe, as shown in the figure below.
2. Connect the other end of the preamp to an analog channel input terminal of the oscilloscope on the front panel, as shown in the figure below. Note that you need to push the probe to the due position to lock it firmly.
3. Use the probe’s auxiliary device to connect the probe head to the circuit under test. For detailed information of the probes, please refer to User Guide for PVA8000 Series Active Probe.

After connecting the active probe, you can perform probe calibration and offset voltage adjustment if necessary. For detailed procedures, refer to the “Active Probe” section in User Guide.
5.5 Function Inspection

1. Press on the front panel, then a prompt message displaying “Restore default settings?” appears on the screen. Click OK to restore the instrument to its factory default settings.
2. Connect the ground alligator clip of the probe to the “Ground Terminal” as shown in Figure 5.5 below.
3. Use the probe to connect the input terminal of CH1 of the oscilloscope and the “Compensation Signal Output Terminal” of the probe, as shown in Figure 5.5 .
4. Set the probe attenuation to 10X, and then click > Auto.
5. Observe the waveform on the display. In normal condition, the square waveform as shown in the figure below should be displayed.
6. Use the same method to test the other channels. If the square waveforms actually shown do not match that in the figure above, please perform “Probe Compensation” introduced in the next section.

Warning
To avoid electric shock when using the probe, please make sure that the insulated wire of the probe is in good condition. Do not touch the metallic part of the probe when the probe is connected to high voltage source.
5.6 Probe Compensation
When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes to make them match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or poorly compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy or errors. The probe compensation procedures are as follows:

1. Perform Step 1, 2, 3 and 4 specified in “Function Inspection”.
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the waveforms shown in Figure 5.7 .
3. Use the probe compensation adjustment tool provided in the accessories to adjust the low-frequency compensation adjustment hole on the probe until the displayed waveform is consistent with the “Perfectly compensated” waveform shown in the above figure.

Touch Screen Gestures

The instrument provides a super large capacitive touch screen, which is convenient for users to operate and make configurations. It has strong waveform display capability and excellent user experience. It features great convenience, high flexibility, and great sensitivity. The actions supported by the touch screen controls include tapping, pinching&stretching, as well as dragging.
6.1 Tap
Use one finger to tap the symbol or characters on the screen slightly, as shown in
Figure 6.1 . With the Tap gesture, you can perform the following operation:

• Tap the menu displayed on the screen to operate on the menu.
• Tap the function navigation icon at the lower-left corner of the touch screen to enable the function navigation.
• Tap the displayed numeric keypad to set the parameters.
• Tap the virtual keypad to set the label name and the filename.
• Tap the close window icon at the upper-right corner of the prompt message box to close it.
• Tap the other windows displayed on the screen to operate on the window.

6.2 Drag
Use one finger to select the object, and then drag the object to a destination place, as shown in Figure 6.2 . With the drag gesture, you can perform the following operation:
Touch Screen Gestures

• Drag the waveform to change its position or scale.
• Drag the window controls to change the position of the window (e.g. numeric keypad).
• Drag the cursor to change the position of the cursor.
• In multi-window display, drag one of the displayed windows to change its position on the screen.

6.3 Pinch &Stretch
Pinch or stretch two points on the screen with two fingers to zoom in or out the waveform. To zoom in the waveform, first pinch the two fingers and then stretch the fingers; to zoom out the waveform, first stretch the two fingers, and then pinch the fingers together, as shown in the figure below. With the pinch&stretch gesture, you can perform the following operation:

• Pinching&stretching in the horizontal direction can adjust the horizontal time base of the waveform.
• Pinching&stretching in the vertical direction can adjust the vertical scale of the waveform.

To Use the Built-in Help System

The help system of this oscilloscope provides instructions for all the function keys on the front panel and their corresponding menu keys. Click or tap > Help to enter the help system.After opening the help interface, you can get its help information by clicking on or tapping the link for the desired item.

Parameter Setting Method

For this instrument, you can use the knob and touch screen operation to set parameters. The common parameter setting methods are as follows:

• Method 1: Some parameters can be adjusted by rotating the knob on the front panel.
• Method 2: Click or tap the input field of a specified parameter, then a virtual keypad is displayed. Complete the parameter setting with the keypad.

Input a Value
When setting or modifying a parameter, input an appropriate value with the keypad in Figure 8.1 .

Click or tap the value or unit in the numeric keypad to complete the input. After you input all the values and select the desired units, the numeric keypad is turned off automatically. This indicates that you have completed parameter setting. Besides, after you have input the values, you also also press “OK“ directly to close the numeric keypad. At this time, the unit of the parameter is the default unit. In the numeric keypad, you can perform the following operation:

• Deletes the parameter value that has been input;
• Sets the parameter value to a maximum or minimum value;
• Sets the parameter to a default value;
• Clears the parameter value.

Fuse Replacement

If you need to replace the fuse, use only the specified fuse (AC 250V, T3.15A; 5.2 mm×20 mm) and perform the following operations (as shown in Figure 9.1 ):

1. Turn off the instrument, cut off the power, and remove the power cord.
2. Use a small straight slotted screwdriver to pry out the fuse holder.
3. Take out the fuse holder.
4. Replace the old fuse with a specified fuse.
5. Install the fuse holder.

Warning
To avoid electric shock, please ensure that the instrument has been turned off, the power source has been cut off, and the fuse to be used conforms to the fuse rating.
