Rigol DS1022 vs Siglent SDG1032X - Function Generator Shootout 

The Siglent was about 4ns rise time vs 23ns for the Rigol. Also, you should have loaded both of the cable ends with 50 ohms. The Siglent eats the Rigol for breakfast.

Good and fair review ! Thanks !!!!

Thanks for participation in the discussion with valuable suggestion.?

When you step through the frequency range using the rotary switch what is the dwell time between selections?

Did you terminate the scope input with 50R? Would be nice to know as others have asked this too.

Dear, Did you terminate the input of your Oscop on 50R? especially when you did the step response.

the wave forme source is from 14bit do you thnik it can calibrate a 24BIT ad converter ?

Hello dear friend, My Rigol DG2041A function generator after shown a message (over load waveform), suddenly disable square and pulse waveform at output terminal , but all other waveform are appearing on output terminal. I request to help if possible for you that better guide in this regard. Thanks and regards.

Is there a waveform generator that makes a waveform from a math formula?

what is the function of the local view

11:12 - is not a Rigol problem, you cannot connect directly by a BNC cable. use a oscilloscope probe 10x to compensate.

I apologize in advance if you mentioned this but I would not use a direct connect (x1) cable to look at rise times. It would be much better to say use a compensated x10 scope probe. Many scope probes have an adapter available or included to slip on so you can directly connect to a female BNC at the generator. This way you would be using the the scope's full bandwidth and reducing its effect on the waveform... especially the square waves. I know you mentioned using the same cable for both generators but why not use the same scope lead and get better information? Also there is the 50 ohm output Z of the generators as another consideration. I have the Rigol DS1022 and have been happy with it. I am also enjoying your channel and have subscribed.

Why did you change from a Rigol 1022 to a Rigol 1074 in the middle of your testing?

SDG1032X or DG1022Z, which would you recommend?

MegaHERT?

i understand these are generally audio frequency generators, but what about the higher frequencies? like 15mhz, 100mhz etc. does it turn into an rf signal generator? i want one but im confused on their purpose as far as the higher non audio frequencies. help!!!

After this review im glad i just bought a second hand Rigol DG1022 as if i had paid full price i would be annoyed . Thanks

Rigol gute 👍🎁

funny how both owe tremendous debt to Agilent's UI designs

First connect it properly, than test

tz! mega herTZ

The Siglent has far more Yolo.

Look in da manual and you are done... Dedicated square generator? Nonsense.

You are talking a lot on with little insight.

Too 'wordy'. Better if you wrote a script (it will stop asking yourself questions!)
