Good Instrument

5.0

This instrument has numerous features and capability I did not expect for one in its price range. It did not take long to master the user interface. I learned a lot putting this instrument through the initial test paces. I like the ability to lock the two channels together either exactly or with an offset. The DG1022Z has many features I will probably never use but the ones I have used so far have worked well.

Decent signal generator. Square wave only good in the KHz bandwidth so I don't see where the "SiFi" moniker applies here. This is an instrument made for hobbyists or students and maybe a little pricey for that though.

Great Bang for the Buck

I purchased this mainly for audio equipment testing and repair. I am very happy with this unit. It did take a while to get used to the operation of the light blue function buttons though. Not as intuitive as I would think. Love the dual output and that you can have the 2nd channel track the first. Fantastic for testing frequency range of stereo amplifiers. For the little I paid for this, there are a lot of features. Great bang for the buck.

Rigol DG1022Z

5.0

I purchased the Rigol DG1022Z over the Rigol DG822 because I did not like the touch screen. The Rigol DG822 has better specs and is the latest version but the touch screen doesn't have a place on test equipment. After using the DG1022z it was a matter of minutes to feel comfortable and I was able to put it to immediate use ... no learning curve. I have Tequipment and their great staff to thank for the transition from one model to the other. It was smooth and problem free ... glad I decided to tell them I was unhappy with the DG822. The DG1022z is more than capable for my purposes and connects directly to the Rigol DS4024 I purchased from Tequipment as well. I recommend the Rigol DG1022z from Tequipment !

Actually, I could give it a "yes" or "no" response. I needed a stable signal that had it's phase offset by several degrees with a high point-to-point amplitude. It could not provide that signal in a stable manner. Had I been operating on a test bench and could leave the unit set, it may have been different.Hooked up to my o-scope, it did well.

4.0

I needed a decent function generator. I already had a RIGOL scope so I looked at the DG1022. However, the more expensive DG1022Z had an Arb function and I could connect to the RIGOL scope. So that's what I bought and it turned out great. I can save a waveform on the scope as a REF and read it on the arb (hook up the included USB cable to the back of the scope). Only complaints are that I cannot figure out how to save the waveform I captured from the scope into the DG1022Z's memory. The RIGOL PC SW (UltrStation and UltraScope) need more work and better documentation but really what would you expect for the low price. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

Great Addition to the Hobbyist Lab

4.0

I am a hobbyist with a passionate interest in learning about electronics, especially in the area of micro-controllers like the Arduino. I was having issues in determining why my circuit components and software code provided results different from what I expected, so I read a book about establishing your own Electronics Workshop and an oscilloscope and signal generator were two of the first items suggested. I struggled with getting the Rigol DS-1054Z to behave as I expected since it is probably more complicated to configure than a beginner is able to noodle, but combined with this DG-1022Z, things get a little more approachable. First, I hardly needed to read anything to get started. When powered-on, this unit comes up with two sine waves on the display. It does not output them until you hit the Output button, so I had to turn the unit on and hit Output. Pretty easy so far. Second, using the provided BNC cable with a workshop tee splitter and 50-ohn terminator, I jumpered the DG-1022Z to the DS-1054Z but didn't see anything expected. So, I hit Auto on the oscilloscope and the magic happened. (I have read several tips and techniques posts that say never hit Auto, but in this case, it helped.) Third, I am now off to using the DG-1022Z to drive some LEDs for a project so I can see the "perfect signal" output versus the "custom Arduino" output and make appropriate component adjustments. A couple of points. The only included cables are AC cord, USB A/B, and one BNC-BNC. It would be good to have a BNC-to-clip cable and I had to order two after the unit arrived and that delayed my progress a little. Also, the form factor for the Function Generator and the Oscilloscope and significantly different so you don't have a stacking option to speak of with them together. It would be nice to find a pair that would stack or even have snap-together mounting options. These seem to be in and out of stock a bit and mine took awhile to get here, whereas the oscilloscope was here in two or three days from order date. All in all, I'm very pleased with the product. I do not see instructions for firmware updates, but I'm certain I'll find that as I explore my new tool.

Pretty good AWG for the price

4.0

I will admit, I already had an Instek function gen, but got this one also since it had a higher bandwidth and a lot more buttons. Rigol has made a huge splash on the lower end of the test equipment market lately. I'm sure it's in no small part due to their time making oscilloscopes for Agilent. In any case, this is a really good AWG for the money. The specs are on par if not better than anything else in this price range. The user interface is OK, but sometimes it seems a little convoluted; certainly something you'll soon become accustomed to.

Rigol DG1022Z

4.0

Positive: * Both Channels work great from 1Hz - 25MHz no problem on Sine waves. * Easy to use: Voltage Scale and Time Scale * AM/FM Integration Negatives: * Both Channels work semi great from 1Hz - 25MHz on Square and Ramp. Its maximum freq is actually smaller than 25MHz but the generator allows it to be over it which does not make sense. Ideally if you try and set it to 25MHz the wave is distorted. * One BNC Cable is sent. No Probes or Nothing beyond that. * This is an Arb Generator so the waveform on some freq may not look the best in some modes. I wish the Arb generator had better sine wave points (not critical to operation).

I have not had a chance to try the arb function or test its interoperability with the Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope, but I have used the unit to generate test patterns for an FPGA. For the money, this unit is a great value. Controls are very intuitive and I have yet to open the manual. The only negative I noticed is that the rise/fall times look a little slow compared to more expensive units. When I select a 20 MHz square wave, it outputs essentially a distorted sine wave. This is not a factor for my needs, however

Spent a lot of time comparing this to the Siglent models, reading the online manuals, comparing functions and prices, etc. Decided the screen and controls layout just seemed more obvious on the Rigol, and finally went with it. Very pleased so far, fairly intuitive to do most things with it, and only had to dive into the manual to find out what else it could do beyond my typical t-shoot needs. Really like that it can do so many modulation types for checking out receivers. Wished I could have afforded higher freq,but really didn't need it, and for most VHF/UHF work I can get by with just an analog RF sig gen on the front end, and use this one for the IF strip or further into the radio for the work I need to do at a more economical cost. Very happy with it, would recommend it to others. Only thing I missed was that I should have bought a bag for it right off the bat, I need to carry it other places than the test bench at times.
