Protocol

The device uses USBTMC or LXI via its Ethernet port for communication with a host PC. The protocol is based on SCPI commands.

Example use

Depending on your type of connection you have to can either use the USBTMC connection parameter or the VXI connection parameter. Examples:

When connecting over TCP/IP need to specify ip address and port:

-d rigol-ds:conn=vxi/192.168.42.42

sigrok-cli -d rigol-ds:conn=vxi/192.168.1.250 --config data_source=Live -o live.sr -O srzip --frames=1

See Rigol-ds data source for more information on data source.

Digital channels

The MSO500 Series has dedicated memory for digital channels, which is smaller in size than the analog memory. To have the same capturing time, the digital sampling rate is lower than the analog sampling rate.

Note: The support is not in mainline, yet. See | PR#95

Signal generator (option)

The optional signal gnerator can be used with the rigol-dg driver. For usage see Rigol DG800 Series
