We need a function generator (FG) to recommend to customers for various experiments. We were reselling the protek 8003, but I found out today that protek is no more! So I?m back searching. We?d like to just have one function generator that could ?cover? a fe w different experiments. For one we need Sine waves from 0.5 to 2 Hz, with at least 10mHz resolution. (1 mHz would be nicer.) (This seems to eliminate a lot of the low end FG?s out there.)
The other function would be sine wave sweeps and bursts, frequencies from hundreds of kHz to 5 MHz at a minimum.
Oh price, The protek was selling for ~$300. Something near that would be nice. lets say no more than $1k.
So I?ve been through the usual suspects, Rigol, B&K, Instek, Fluke. Tek, Agilent.
The only one that fits the bill is the Rigol DG1022. I seem to recall someone having issues trying to program it. I don?t really need that function for our customers. But it would be nice for my own use. Any idea if Rigol has fixed that?
Any other candidates?
Thanks George H.
