Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators, with up to 1MHz full
power bandwidth and higher than 80 V/µs slew rate, which can be
used in fast constructions of a test platform in connection with all
DG series products, and as a single power amplifier in coordination
with other generators.
The power amplifier at present available in this series is PA1011.
Features:
Easily and neatly communicate with DG and PC software
through the USB interface;
Enables to set the Gain (x1 or x10), Polarity (Invert or Normal),
Output offset and the output status in connection with its
software;
Up to 50kΩ output impedance;
The integrated output protection circuit (overcurrent protection
and internal temperature abnormal protection) provided with
ensures the instrument is working stably and safely;
Compact size, easy to carry and use.

CAUTION
The input impedance of the instrument Zi is 50k, and the
range of voltage is -10V~+10V or -1.25V~+1.25V
separately while the voltage gain is set to X1 or X10.
The inputs exceed these ranges may cause damages to the
instrument or other hazards.
CAUTION
The output impedance of the instrument Zo is less than 2,
and the range of output voltage is -12V~+12V. Although
the amplifier actually enables to output voltages up to ±
12.5V, it may increase the total wave harmonic distortion.
