The SDG6000X from Siglent are high end 2 channel function generators with a very wide frequency range and sample rate and several features that take it to a different level than the competition. For example, one of these features that sets it apart is the gigantic 16-bit vertical resolution.
Other special features are the TrueArb and EasyPulse techniques that solve problems inherent in DDS generators. TrueArb has the advantage of reducing jitter and distortion. EasyPulse enables the generation of virtually jitter-free square waves and pulses, even when the frequency is not an integer multiple of the clock frequency.
Several other features such as extensive modulation, burst, and sweep capabilities complete the picture.
The generators have several connections that allow them to be connected to a computer. This makes it possible to create signals up to 20M points with included programs.
The models in the SDG6000X series differ primarily in bandwidth. The most important specification are listed side by side in the table below.
