Saelig Company, has launched the Rigol DG6000 Series, a line of 16-bit function and arbitrary waveform generators with up to 1 GHz bandwidth. These units feature a maximum sample rate of 2.5 GSa/s and memory depth of 256 Mpts per channel, expandable to 512 Mpts per channel. The DG6000 series combines multiple capabilities—including function generation, arbitrary waveform generation, noise and pulse generation, harmonics generation, and analog/digital modulation—into a single, cost-efficient instrument. The series includes four models: DG6052 (2-channel, 500 MHz), DG6054 (4-channel, 500 MHz), DG6102 (2-channel, 1 GHz), and DG6104 (4-channel, 1 GHz), each providing full channel isolation and clean, distortion-free signals.
The large 10.1” color touch screen allows for both configuring and viewing the waveform parameters simultaneously. Web control functionality permits easy remote operation as well. In High Bandwidth mode, the DG6000 can output a square wave signal with a rise time of only 350ps, providing a near-ideal step response for testing high-speed digital interfaces and evaluating system transient responses. A stable, low-jitter high-frequency square wave output is essential in meeting the extreme stress testing requirements of high-speed logic circuits. The instrument’s 16-bit vertical resolution provides four times the resolution of traditional 14-bit instruments, and, combined with a low-noise design, this makes the superposition of even minute signals clearly visible, eliminating dynamic range limitations.

Rigol’s new-generation flagship signal source features powerful 4-channel high-voltage differential direct-drive capabilities. Without the need for an external power amplifier and balun, it can output a strong 20Vpp signal and a 350ps ultra-fast square wave. From DC to 1GHz, from millivolts to 20Vpp high voltage, the RIGOL DG6000 Series Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator provides a reliable, all-around isolated-channel signal source for even the most challenging connectivity problems. These AWGs are available now from Saelig Company, Rigol’s USA technical distributor.
