Tiny little Uni-T function generator

[Fungus]

Just saw this new 2-channel arbgen from Unit-T. Very tiny and cute... and only 80-odd Euros! (less than 100$?)

Here's a video comparing it to a much more expensive Siglent, it does better!

Hah! OK, I hadn't seen that thread.

Oh FFS they guy's a muppet comparing 10yr old models to latest releases. 
Then he couldn't even state the correct model # and its max frequency yet it's right in front of him in the units labelling.

What difference does it make that the Siglent models are 10 years old? The SDG810 and SDG1062X are still Siglent's current offerings.

SDG1052 SDG810 is what he was using. It's an old outdated model despite still being produced.
Doesn't hold a candle to the full capabilities of any of the later X models.

The one he uses is an SDG810. He has the SDG1062 (I didn't notice the lack of an X before) on his white board comparison. The SDG810 is still a current model.

Yeah as mentioned above check out the full thread on this.  I have one and I'm very pleased with it but I don't use the AWG functionality, but it seams like the AWG function isn't the best, with the software being bad, and the fact that it loses the waveform when powered down.

Please forward to 12:10 in James Hetfields video. Nuff said?

I really not like the 20ns rise time... on the other side, for example, the psg9080 have an r-2r dac that i would non consider. And i wouldn't bet also on the fy6900 (as i have one, full modded). Every of this devices have it's shortcomings, seem that it's impossible to do a good and cheap device...

external circuit consisting high speed comparator or jelly bean transistors is very easy to assemble if you want fast rise time. otoh good user experience in using the FG cannot be replaced with anything else other than what already provided out of factory, without modding it extensively, even require FW changes etc, in short building our own FG from scratch

It's not a pulse generator. 

If you hate that then you really wouldn't like the steppy sine waves if it didn't have a low-pass filter on the DAC output...

Somebody said something bad about a Siglent, expect a bit of vitriol.

On the fy6900 (4ns rise time) on 5vpp sine i start to see the steps under 5khz. I think that on the utg will be much lower.
I love have only one device to do things 😅

if you follow the other thread. the synch output to synch sweep signal is 1ns rise time iirc... so if we need some TDR toy, we already have one ready...
