Function gen for amateur bench: FY6900-60M vs Siglent 1025 or 1032X
skander36:
My Siglent 2042X is still alive today because of it's autoprotection on output.
My FY6600 is half dead (one output amp is fried).

I could spring for the 1032X ... but that does start to eat into my overall electronics budget and then I would need to renegotiate with my better half that much sooner... and while for square wave drag racing purposes, hacking it into a 1062x sounds awesome, I realistically will not be working with signals that high speed any time soon.

So, it was not really a consideration?
Too bad. The SDG1032X is a real instrument. The FY6900 is a toy. If you end up getting the FY6900, make sure it does not get blown away in a stiff breeze. :-DD
GigaJoe:
as usually budged prevailed, and this totally understandable.

Haven't evaluated the other AWGs under consideration, as we don't tend to discount items we haven't personally evaluated.
We do have and use the SDG2042X (and big brother SDG6022X), and can say the output waveform quality is superb, yes the UI isn't very good, but the waveform quality is what matters the most for our needs, so we put up with the UI. You can search for both these AWGs and see how they perform for your own considerations.
One thing to consider if one envisions doing Bode Plots (some discount this feature, however we've found it quite useful for our work), and considers a Siglent DSO, other brand AWGs won't directly work. Suspect the same for Rigol, altho think some folks have hacked different brand DSO and AWGs to work together.
Best,
BillyO:
Another possibility might be the Juntek PSG9080. Priced a bit higher than the FY6900 but by all accounts a much more substantial option.
