The Introduction of DG2000 Series

This manual covers the following four types of DG2000 Series Function/ Arbitrary Waveform Generators: DG2041A、DG2021A.
RIGOL DG2000 Series Function/ Arbitrary Waveform Generator adopt the direct digital synthesizer (DDS) technology, which can provide stable, high-precision, pure and low distortion sine signal. It can also provide 40MHz square waveform with fast rising and falling edges. Its combination of excellent system features, easiness in usage and versatile functions makes this generator a perfect solution for your job now and in the future.
DG2000 Series Function/ Arbitrary Waveform Generator have clear and simple Front-Panel. The user-friendly panel layout and instructions, versatile terminals, direct graph interface, built-in instructions and help system have greatly simplified the operation process.
