Rigol DG3101A Function / Arbitrary Waveform Generator

Description

The Rigol DG3101A is a Function / Arbitrary Waveform Generator to create high quality signals up to 100 MHz (Sine). Beside the analog output, the device includes an USB-Host- and an USB-device, a RS-232, LAN and GPIB 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

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 helpfunction will show descriptions of single functions and step-by-step instructions for often used tasks.
