Function Generator reviews..

[Six_Shooter]

As some one else has pointed out in another thread there seems to be a lack of Function Generator reviews or even tear downs, forgive if there has been some, I'm only up to video #435.

I'd like to see some reviews to see what is good and what isn't in the market place, especially since I'm currently looking for one.

Until Dave makes one, see threads discussing the Instek SFG 1003 for a basic FG and the Hantek 3x25, which provides bang for buck high frequency output and waveform generation.  From eevblog videos, you can get a general viewpoint by searching videos terms under 'generators' which cover function, signal, waveform or RF generators.

He has these vids available:

Siglent Teardown: 
Agilent Teardown: 
Rigol 4162 Non-Teardown:
Rigol 4162 Non-Teardown:

Personally I would love to see a teardown on a Rigol 4xxx or 5xxx.  It's been a while since I saw that video, but I think Rigol lent those to Dave for a short period of time and expected them back not torn down so he didn't so it.

I've seen the 4000 on the shelf in heaps of videos since. I think the reason for not posting a teardown is that Mike has already done an excellent one:

It would be nice if he could do a side by side review or even a shootout like his multimetor ones
