The Rigol DG4162 is a dual-channel arbitrary waveform generator capable of producing signals up to 160 MHz with Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) technology. Built for signal emulation, characterization, and validation across research, education, and production environments, it delivers stable, low-distortion outputs with 14-bit vertical resolution and a 500 MSa/s sample rate. The 7-inch color TFT LCD display (800 × 480 resolution) provides real-time visualization of both channels simultaneously.
