Rigol DG1022Z and Vpp
« on: January 06, 2018, 12:18:32 pm »
Hi,

I recently bought the Rigol DS1054Z and the DG1022Z and experimenting a bit to get to know them better. I also bought a second BNC cable to connect both channels to the scope.
The question I have is regarding the separately bought BNC cable, when choosing a sine or ramp wave, all looks good. When choosing a square wave it seems that this cable gives a spike at the beginning of each period, so for example when then generated wave has a Vpp of 5V, the scope sees a Vpp of 7.08 V. And the overshoot is around 50% instead of 1-2% with the included cable.
I don't have this issue with the included BNC cable. I swapped cables to be sure but behavior is only with 1 cable.

Any explanation for this?

Thanks for any help or feedback.
Alex

The 1022 is a 50 ohm Z. The 1054Z is basically a 1M ohm z,
so you need a thru terminator on the 1054Z to make it look like
50 ohms. So transmission line (the cable) is properly terminated.

Or build a DIY terminator.

Dave's done a video on traps for young players explaining what Danadak's said about the correct termination.

The output of digital signal generators is often inaccurate/poor at low output levels, so an attenuator is a good idea.
