Can I output two different arbitrary waveforms with an SDG?
April 22, 2021
Yes. Two-channel SDGs (SDG1000X, 2000X, and 6000X) can output two separate arbitrary waveforms. Load the waveforms into the instrument Select the channel you wish to load to and then press Save/Recall Select the arbitrary waveform you wish to output for that channel Repeat steps 2-3 for the other channel Enable outputs Here is an example … Continued

How do I directly control an instrument using LAN?
February 16, 2021
For convenience, we recommend connecting your instrument to your LAN using a router that can configure DHCP directly and use an internet switch to connect the LAN to the instruments you wish to control. In some cases, you may wish to directly connect your computer to an instrument LAN port without a LAN available. This … Continued

Why does my function generator amplitude not match the set point?
March 3, 2020
The most likely cause is that the generator output is not configured with the correct value that matches the actual load. Function generators like the SIGLENT SDG series are designed to have an output impedance of 50 ohms. This output impedance is assumed to be in series with a known load impedance R2, as shown … Continued
