This document is about DG5000 series Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator, introducing the features of this product.
About this manual
The DG5000 series is a multifunctional signal generator that combines function generation, arbitrary waveform generation, IQ baseband/IF source, optional frequency hopping and pattern generation. It is available in single‑ and dual‑channel models with up to 350 MHz output frequency and 1 GSa/s sample rate.
The guide is organized into chapters covering quick start, basic and arbitrary waveform output, common modulation, IQ modulation, frequency sweep, burst, frequency‑hopping, store/recall, advanced operations, remote control, troubleshooting, specifications and appendices. Safety requirements, handling, and warranty information are also included.
