1. Inleiding
The RIGOL DHO802 Digital Oscilloscope is a high-performance instrument designed for precise signal analysis. It features ultra-low background noise for pure signal acquisition and a 12-bit hardware high resolution across all series. With up to 70MHz analog bandwidth and 2 analog channels, it supports real-time sampling rates up to 1.25 GSa/s and a storage depth of up to 25 Mpts. The Ultra Aqua mode provides an impressive 1 million wfms/s waveform capture rate, making it ideal for capturing transient events.
Key features include gray scale digital real-time brightness function, waveform search and navigation, a 7-inch 1024x600 high-definition touch screen, and a new Flex knob for enhanced interactive experience. Connectivity options include USB Device & Host, LAN, and HDMI ports. The compact design ensures convenient maneuverability, and it supports online version upgrades.

3. Instellen
3.1 Uitpakken en inspectie
Carefully remove the oscilloscope and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect all items for any signs of damage during transit. If any damage is found, contact your supplier immediately.
3.2 Stroomaansluiting
- Zorg ervoor dat de oscilloscoop op een stabiele, vlakke ondergrond met voldoende ventilatie staat.
- Sluit de meegeleverde voedingskabel aan op de voedingsingang aan de achterkant van de oscilloscoop.
- Steek het andere uiteinde van de voedingskabel in een geschikt stopcontact.
- Druk op de aan/uit-knop op het voorpaneel om het apparaat in te schakelen.
3.3 Sondeverbinding
The DHO802 comes with two passive probes. To connect a probe:
- Align the BNC connector of the probe with one of the input channels (CH1 or CH2) on the front panel.
- Push the connector in and twist clockwise until it locks into place.
- Attach the probe's ground clip to a common ground point in your circuit.
- For accurate measurements, ensure the probe compensation is correctly adjusted. Refer to the "Probe Compensation" section in the full manual for detailed instructions.

4.2 Basisprincipes van golfvormregistratie
- Connect the probe to the signal source you wish to measure.
- Druk op de Auto button on the front panel for automatic setup of vertical, horizontal, and trigger parameters.
- Pas de Verticale schaal (V/div) and Verticale positie knobs for each channel to optimize the waveform display.
- Pas de Horizontale schaal (s/div) and Horizontale positie knobs to view the desired time duration of the waveform.
- Gebruik de Trekker controls to stabilize repetitive waveforms.
4.3 Geavanceerde functies
The DHO802 supports various advanced features accessible via the touch screen and Flex knob:
- Zoeken en navigeren in golfvormen: Utilize the touch screen to easily navigate and search for specific events within long waveform records.
- Gray Scale Digital Real-time Brightness: Enhance waveform visibility with 256 levels of brightness, revealing signal details that might otherwise be hidden.
- Connectiviteit: Use the USB, LAN, and HDMI ports for data transfer, remote control, and external display.
The oscilloscope's system supports switching between 8 major languages, including Chinese, English, German, French, Korean, Portuguese, Polish, and Japanese.

5. Onderhoud
- Keep the oscilloscope clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning the exterior.
- Stel het apparaat niet bloot aan extreme temperaturen, vochtigheid of direct zonlicht.
- Do not block the ventilation openings on the rear and sides of the instrument.
- Regularly check the probes and cables for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
- For internal cleaning or repair, contact qualified service personnel.
6. Probleemoplossing
- Geen stroom: Ensure the power cable is securely connected and the power outlet is functional. Check the power button.
- Geen golfvormweergave: Verify probes are correctly connected to the input channels and the signal source. Check vertical and horizontal scale settings. Ensure the trigger is properly set or use the Auto button.
- Instabiele golfvorm: Adjust the trigger level and trigger mode. Ensure the trigger source is appropriate for the signal.
- Software Freezing: If the software locks up, try restarting the device. If the issue persists, check for available online firmware updates.
- Vervormde golfvorm: Check probe compensation. Ensure the input signal does not exceed the oscilloscope's maximum input voltage.
For persistent issues, refer to the comprehensive help file built into the device or contact RIGOL customer support.
