I've sold ~30 to one customer for classroom use and we had some problems with early ones, all SW related however with the latest SW no more problems. :phew:
Zero actual HW problems.
I will add that the courses they are used in care is taken to define correct use and therefore minimize the chance of user error.
robsims:
Ok thanks, think i'm going with the Siglent SDG810
GerryR:
I recently bought a BK 4045B used on ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/BK-Precision-4045B-20-MHz-DDS-Sweep-Function-Generator/273841129250) for $124.99. Looks new and performs to spec. He has 2 left. Might be worth a look, if I'm not to late!
robsims:
You know what i like about BK Precision equipment. They look like solid. Very robust. They look like they will never break.
I will look again at the options you guys gave me and then i will make a decision.

Maybe better than you imagine, thanks to this forum. ;)
IIRC all Siglent models have output protection that minimizes the risk of blowing the output stages from reverse voltages but when turned OFF there is no such protection.
Anyways, the output stages of many Siglent models have been well photographed so we can find and replace any damaged devices without more effort than a search through the appropriate SDG threads.

Please explain what that means, and if possible give an example of a typical failure mode scenario. Thx

RTFM ;)

P121
2.13.10 Overvoltage Protection
--- End quote ---
tautech, I read p121 in the fine manual, but I'm still not clear on a few things:
1. What's the downside of turning on the OVP? (If there is none, I'm guessing it would be on by default.)
2. What is an example of the most typical failure mode scenario that this is intended to prevent?
3. How is the Siglent approach to OVP any different than say Agilent/Keysight? (As best I can tell the manual for a 33522 seems to reference OVP once with very little info on it one way or another.)
(Just not sure why you raised this... it is good of you to be up front in helping users stay alert... but looking for some more insight. Thx)
