Rigol DG4162 Arbitrary Waveform Generator 160 MHz

Rigol DG4162 160 MHz Arbitrary Waveform Generator

Description

The Rigol DG4162 is two channel function / arbitrary waveform generator to create high-quality signals up to 160 MHz (Sine). Besides the analog output, the device includes a USB-Host- and a USB-device and a LAN interface. The Rigol Function-generators have a sophisticated and easy to use interface and offer multiple functions for all tasks. The menu navigation is very intuitive and all functions and parameters are easy to locate thanks to the graphical interface.

DG4000 Series Waveform Generators

DG4000 series is a multifunctional generator that combines many functions in one, including Function Generator, Arbitrary Waveform Generator, Pulse Generator, Harmonic Generator, Analog/Digital Modulator, and Counter. All of the 3 models have two channels with complete equivalent functions and precisely phase adjustable, they are the real dual-channel signal generator.

DG4000, adopting the Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) technology, can provide stable, precise, pure and low distortion signals. The user-friendly interface design and panel layout bring users an exceptional experience. Besides, the remote control of the generator can be easily done through different standard configuration interfaces, which provides more solutions for users. experience.

1. AC Power Input
   This generator can accept AC power supply of 100-240V, 45-440Hz.Power Fuse: 250V, T2 A.
2. LAN
   Connect the generator to the local area network for remote control through this interface. This generator conforms to LXI-C instrument standards and can quickly build a test system with other devices to easily realize system integration.
3. Security Lock Hole
   Users can use the security lock (buy it by themselves) to lock the instrument at a fixed location.
4. USB Device
   PC can be connected through this interface to control the generator remotely through PC software.
5. 10MHz In/Out
   BNC female connector with 50Ω nominal impedance. The function of this connector is determined by the type of clock used by the generator. DG4000 can use an internal or external clock (refer to the introduction in Clock Source ).
   • When the internal clock source is used, the connector (used as 10MHz Out) can output a 10MHz clock signal generated by the internal crystal oscillator of the generator.
   • When the external clock source is used, the connector (used as 10MHz In) accepts a 10MHz external clock signal.
   • This connector is usually used to synchronize multiple instruments (refer  to the introduction in Sync).
6. CH1: Mod/FSK/Trig
   BNC female connector with 50Ω nominal impedance. Its function is determined by the current working mode of CH1.
   • Mod:
     If AM, FM, PM, PWM or OSK is enabled for CH1 and external modulation source is used, this connector accepts an external modulation signal.
   • FSK:
     If ASK, FSK or PSK is enabled for CH1 and external modulation source is used, this connector accepts an external modulation signal (users can set the polarity of the signal).
   • Trig In:
     If CH1 is in sweep or burst mode and external trigger source is used, this connector accepts an external trigger signal (users can set the polarity of the signal).
   • Trig Out:
     If CH1 is in sweep or burst mode and internal or manual trigger source is used, this connector outputs a trigger signal with a specified edge.
7. CH2: Mod/FSK/Trig
   BNC female connector with 50Ω nominal impedance. Its function is determined by the current working mode of CH2.
   • Mod:
     If AM, FM, PM, PWM or OSK is enabled for CH2 and external modulation source is used, this connector accepts an external modulation signal.
   • FSK:
     If ASK, FSK or PSK is enabled for CH2 and external modulation source is used, this connector accepts an external modulation signal (users can set the polarity of the signal).
   • Trig In:
     If CH2 is in sweep or burst mode and external trigger source is used, this connector accepts an external trigger signal (users can set the polarity of the signal).
   • Trig Out:
     If CH2 is in sweep or burst mode and internal or manual trigger source is used, this connector outputs a trigger signal with a specified edge.
8. External Signal Input (Counter)
   BNC female connector with 50Ω nominal impedance. It is used to accept an external signal to be measured by the counter.
