The Rigol DG5351 is a single-channel Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator delivering precise signal synthesis up to 350 MHz. Built on Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) technology, it combines a 1 GSa/s sample rate with 14-bit vertical resolution to produce stable, low-distortion waveforms. The instrument accommodates up to 128 Mpts of arbitrary waveform memory, with on-instrument editing capability for patterns up to 512 kpts. A 4.3-inch touchscreen interface and comprehensive connectivity—USB, Ethernet (LXI-C v1.2), GPIB, and trigger I/O—streamline integration into automated test systems.
