Name: Rigol DG5251
Brand: Rigol
Availability: Discontinued

Description

The Rigol DG5251 is a Function / Arbitrary Waveform Generator to create high quality signals up to 250 MHz (Sine). Beside the analog output, the device includes an USB-Host- and a USB-device, an RS-232, LAN and a 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.
