How Siglent SDS804xHD Supports/Controls AWG SAG1021I?

[GrievousAngel]

I'm considering getting a Siglent SDS804X HD or SDS814X HD scope ... how is the AWG SAG1021 controlled by the SDS800 Series scopes? Dedicated knobs/PB or menu?

What are the advantages of the SAG1021I over a stand-alone AWG of similar specs, other than freeing up desk space?

In the price range of ~$278 (~ cost of SAG102I), which AWG (of any brand) is widely preferred?

My interest are in analog & digital audio, consumer communications (USB, serial, etc), mechatronics (CNC machines, etc) and general troubleshooting.

Later,

Billy

Menu parameter selection and multipurpose encoder for fine adjustments or for larger adjustment the virtual keypad.

SAG1021I provides an isolated output (see SDS800X HD datasheet) for its limitations.
It works great as a plug and play device however being USB powered its output amplitude capability is very limited.

SDS800X HD in Bode plot mode takes command of SAG1021I and operates it from within the Bode plot mode.
