Description

The Rigol DG1012 is a 2 channel Function / Arbitrary Waveform Generator to create high quality signals up to 15 MHz (Sine). Beside the two analog outputs, the device includes a 200 MHz frequency counter, an USB-Host- and an USB-device 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.

Special Features

Dual Channel Output

Both output channels can be configured separately.

Flexible arbitrary waveforms

The instrument has 48 built-in arbitrary waves (contains DC) which including common, math, engineering, window function and other common waves.

Precise amplitude adjustment

2 mV minimum range (50 Ω)

Precise frequency adjustment

1 µHz frequency resolution

Built-in Frequency Counter

The counter can be used to measure frequency, period, duty cycle, positive pulse width and negative pulse width within the range of 100 mHz to 200 MHz.

Filesystem and USB Stick Support

The devices have a filesystem for the storage of waveforms in the internal memory or on USB sticks.

Integrated Helpsystem

The integrated help-function will show descriptions of single functions and step-by-step instructions for often used tasks.
