Programming Preparations
Before programming, you need to make the following preparations:
1 Install the Ultra Sigma common PC software. You can acquire this software from the resource CD of
the standard accessories or download it from RIGOL official website ( www.rigol.com ); then, install it
according to the instructions. After installing the Ultra Sigma, the NI-VISA library will be installed
automatically. Here, the default installation path is C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA.
2 Here, the USB interface of the power supply is used to communicate with the PC and please use USB
cable to connect the USB DEVICE interface at the rear panel of the power supply to the PC.
You can also use LAN, RS232 or GPIB (with the USB-GPIB interface converter provided by RIGOL) to
communicate with PC. Note that the end mark of the command sent through RS232 interface is "\r\n".
3 Turn on the instrument after connecting the power supply and PC.
4 At this point, the "Found New Hardware Wizard" dialog box appears on the PC. Please follow the
instructions to install the "USB Test and Measurement Device (IVI)".

displayed at the bottom of the interface. Here, the VISA descriptor of the power supply is
