Does the JDS6600 carry a CE mark?

I'm asking, because without it German customs may
have me return the unit or scrap it at my cost which is not funny.

Yes, I know the CE story. It basically means China Export :-DD
yes, we have CE mark for JDS6600, you can go to our page to check

Having 11 Bit resolution is already quite good from an simple R2R chain at the FPGA. For me it looks surprisingly good.
Medium grade DDS chips like the AD9850 only use an 10 Bit ADC, though they use a longer table (e.g. 4096 points). With just 2048 points for a period, there is limited use of more than 10 Bit resolution though.

The staircase like waveform with quite some ringing suggests that there is no good reconstruction filter. So one can expect quite some high frequency images. The fast output amplifier also has some disadvantages here.

Some jitter in the square wave is normal for directly generating the square from the FPGA.
thank you for your answer, our Waveform vertical resolution is 12 bit, 4096 points, and waveform is about 2048 points . so at x-2048 points, y-4096 points, at this
coordinate system, it show our waveform. For  R2R , it is not easy to design, because it is hard to design, so many DDS don't use this way, if it is design better , it will be more stable than chiop way.

The jitter should not depend on the H/L ratio. It should be just a question of the 5 ns time raster. So it depends on the frequency too. This might even be the worst aspect of it. At frequencies that don't have a period that is an integer multiple of 5 ns will show the jitter. So more like low jitter only at a few special good frequencies.
This generator does not have jitter at non-multiple frequencies, unlike other budget DDS.

Turn on infinite persistence And tuning of frequencies.
When the frequency is tuned, the synchronized second channel loses the phase randomly.

at square wave, our wave is not jitter . this is my advantage. so you have JDS6600, you can check

Depending on how frequency calibration is done the good frequencies can be slightly different, depending on the exact quartz frequency. In principle they could use a different frequency scale - allowing only good ones (e.g. divider) and maybe warn about poor ones.
yes, that is a standar too to judage a DDS

A special DAC chip is generally better than using just a resistor chain at the FPGA output. Most DACs do not offer that much of isolation between the digital side and analog output. So noise is in both cases a question of a good layout. This is still a low cost generator - so the cheap resistor ladder DAC is a kind of compromise.

The failure is to label it 14 Bit resolution if they actually only get 11 Bits.

The Resistor chain looks like 8 Bit R2R and 14 or 15 resistors thermometer style. So at best they could get something like 12 Bit resolution. Still I am surprised how good it seemed to work. If not careful, even at 8 Bits R2R one can get significant errors. One sees that with other low cost generators that call for 8 or 12 Bit resolution and only deliver 6-7.  With an actual 11 Bit resolution it is already a big step forward.

Using true 14 or maybe just 12 Bit DACs is a cost factor - though they might save on the amplitude control this way.
About  a resistor chain at the FPGA output, I have explain, and your explain is good and right too , for any plan, it was designed better , it will all be good.
about the bit, I don't why where you find, because we write 12 bit Waveform vertical resolution , not 14bit.
about the 14 bit , we have updated, but we only sell at china for now. because we need to test in china, after test, and no one find the problem, so we sell to the world. it is our rule for publishing the products. all our products have this progress.
thank you for your support again

Form the picture it looks like the DAC is not a pure R2R chain, but more like using thermometer style for the upper bits. So maybe someone confuses the 14 I/O pins used for control with a 14 bit resolution. At least the DAC seems to work reasonably well as 11 Bit this way.

The DAC type does not have direct influence on the noise with small signals. The waveform should be generated at constant amplitude and only the following multiplier and attenuators reduce the amplitude if needed.

You can look at the delicate degree of 14bit waveform

I'm sorry to be rude, but I am a bit concerned about your posts in this thread. I think you are trying to imply from the context and content of your posts that you are a mere consumer who has tried the Rui-Deng model and a FeelTech model function generator. Your profile says you're from England.

However:
  • you list "feeltech" in your profile
  • your username is typical of the email addresses offered primarily to Chinese users by Tencent
  • a google search for that username reveals other posts in Chinese in various technical forums
  • your English, while adequate, leads me to believe you speak English as a second language
  • FeelTech is headquartered in China, and I'm not able to find any offices in the UK

I should note that all of this is just from information you offered (your username, listing feeltech in your profile) or otherwise publicly available information. And I don't know of any reason or rule that one's profile must be correct on this forum, so I doubt you've done anything wrong. I suppose I could believe that you are an Chinese expat living in the UK.

In any case, if you do work for Feeltech (and perhaps if you designed the product you are discussing) I  think you should be up front and honest about that fact. After all, who else would be better qualified to analyze the properties of a modern cheap function generator than a person who just designed a modern cheap function generator?

Thanks.

First of all, I am a Chinese, I did not deliberately hide my nationality, I and everyone like FeelTech users, which is me in the "forum" learning reasons, because here you can get more technical articles, out of By chance, I saw RD Tech in the forum to promote FeelTech product designers are their students, so I will call to FeelTecH confirmation. Got FeelTecH designer Sun Yi Jie negative answer. At the request of Sun Yi Jie, I made a comparison of the FY6600 and JDSS6600, responded to the "Forum"

Can these problems be fixed in software and can user update the firmware themselves?

Or is this more a hardware-issue?
How can customers tell the difference between the updated and non-updated devices?

there are two small problem,
1, background noise, it was caused by DC power supply. it is small and it doesn't affect normal using , I can make sure
2, at low frequency for square wave form, when you amplify 1000 times, you will find that there is little no sync. this don't affect normal using .
excep those , otheres are not my problem.
because those are small problem and don't affect normal using , so we gradually update those things. now we have already update 2 problem, if you order now
thank you for your concern
have a nice day

Okay, good to know.
But is there a possibility to install new Firmware via USB, or can the Firmware only be updated by programming the microcontroller via the JTAG-Header?

If the latter is the case, I'd suggest that this feature is implemented as soon as possible, as it will add significant value to the instrument. If any problem is discovered that can be corrected with a firmware-update, users can just update to the new firmware instead of buying a new unit or living with that problem. It also allows you to add features later, maybe as paid options, further adding value.

It also appears that the JDS6600 does not have the capability to modulate the signal, is that correct?

Thank you for your reply , friend
in fact , those are no problem. it don't affect our using totally. we only say it is not perfect, because there is no perfect thing in the world. those thing are just like there is small dot on shell of a device , those don't affect normal using totally, useless you use a magnifying glass to see , you can see this dot.
but we are trying to make it perfect .. thank you
about the modulating the signal , we don't have this function, because this is a just DDS signal generator ..
thank you again . hope you understansd what I said

Do you maintain a list with an overview of all known hardware and software problems?

In this list you can each time add new problems and also indicate which problems that are solved.

You can give each problem a title, and classify it as a hardware problem, a software problem or a combination of both.

You can indicate in which hardware revision, and/or software revision the problem has been solved.

When customers order a product on your webstore, you can indicate which hardware revision and which software revision they will get. This avoids discussions later on, as the customer will know upfront what he will get.

Good luck in fixing all your hardware and software problems! :)

thank you so much for your advice , it is good idea.
but we did not make a record . because those problem is small problem, don't affect normally using , so we did not record those .
thank you again
now we have update all those small problem.

Hi, everybody.
Probably this is some kindof side topic but important.

I would like to make my own program to control JDS6600 (surely specific and simpler than standard), where I can find commands description for JDS? Pls. help.

Another question (JDS is new for me) for sweep frequency mode: is there any syncro signal when JDS starts  change frequensy, how to get it?

Thank you in advance

Hi tritutik,

I found a PDF of the command protocol on the included CD. It's in Chinese, so you may have to use Google Translate if you can't read it.

(I tried to copy the filename here, but the Chinese characters didn't come through. If you look in the Chinese folder, you'll see a subfolder with some PDFs in it. The comm protocol PDF is the smallest one, about 288kB.)

Hello,

I have a fairly newb question here. I am using the JDS6600 for lab experiments in the Art of Electronics Student Manual (Hayes/Horowitz). For Lab 2 (Low-pass Filter), the manual suggests,

Quote
As you measure phase shift, use the function generator's SYNC or TTL output to drive the scope's External Trigger. That will define the input phase cleanly.

I am assuming this means that a function generator with SYNC/TTL output generates a pulse at the very beginning (0 degrees) of a waveform, which in turn could be used to trigger the sweep on the scope.

Does the JDS6600 have such a feature? I see a reference to the "TTL extension interface" in the manual, with signals TTL1 and TTL2, but no explanation of their function or usage. Are these signals equivalent to a "SYNC" output?

Thank you,
caned
