General Safety Summary
Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid any personal injuries
or damages to the instrument and any product connected to it. To avoid
potential hazards, please use the instrument as specified.
Only qualified technical personnel should service this instrument.
Avoid fire or open flame.
Use properly rated power line connections.
Use only the specified power line which has been approved by your local
regulatory agency.
Ground the Instrument.
The instrument is grounded through the protective ground conductor of the
power line. To avoid electric shock, the ground conductor must be connected
to the earth ground. Make sure the instrument is grounded correctly before
connecting its input or output terminals.
Connect the signal wire correctly.
The potential of the signal wire ground is equal to the earth, therefore do not
connect the signal wire to a high voltage. Do not touch the exposed contacts
or components.
Observe all terminal ratings.
To avoid fire or electric shock, please observe all ratings and sign instructions
on the instrument. Before connecting the instrument, please read the manual
carefully to gain more information about the ratings.

Introduction of SDG2000X
The manual covers the following 3 models of SDG2000X Series
Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators: SDG2042X, SDG2082X and
SDG2122X.
SIGLENT’s SDG2000X is a series of dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform
generators with specifications of up to 120MHz maximum bandwidth,
1.2GSa/s sampling rate and 16-bit vertical resolution. The proprietary TrueArb
& EasyPulse techniques help to solve the weaknesses inherent in traditional
DDS generators when generating arbitrary, square and pulse waveforms.
Using these techniques the SDG2000X provides users with a variety of high
fidelity, low jitter signals in order to meet the growing requirements for a
multitude of complex applications.
Key Features
Dual-channel, 120MHz maximum bandwidth, 20Vpp maximum output
amplitude, output with 80dB dynamic range
High-performance sampling system with 1.2GSa/s sampling rate and
16-bit vertical resolution. No detail in your waveforms will be lost
Innovative TrueArb technology, based on a point-by-point architecture,
supports any 8pts~8Mpts Arb waveform with a sampling rate in range of
1μSa/s~75MSa/s
Innovative Easy Pulse technology, capable of generating lower jitter
Square or Pulse waveforms, brings a wide range and extremely high
precision in pulse width and rise/fall times adjustment
A variety of analog and digital modulation types: AM、DSB-AM、FM、PM、
FSK、ASK 、PSK and PWM
Sweep and Burst functions

Touch Screen Display
SDG2000X can only display parameters and waveform of one channel at a
time. The picture below shows the interface when CH1 chooses AM
modulation of sine waveform. The information displayed may vary depending
on the function selected.
The entire screen of the SDG2000X is a touch screen. You can use your figure
or touch pen to control the instrument. Most functions and selections can be
chosen using the touch screen in a similar manner to the front panel keys and
knob.

3. Basic Waveform Parameters Area
Shows the current waveform’s parameters of each channel. Press Parameter
and select the corresponding softkey to highlight the parameter to configure.
Then use number keys or knob to change the parameter value.
4. Channel Parameters Area
Displays the load and output settings of the currently selected channel.
Load ----Value of the output load, as selected by the user.
Press Utility → Output → Load, then use the softkeys, number keys or knob to
change the parameter value; or continue pressing the corresponding output
key for two second to switch between High Impedance and 50Ω.
High Impedance: display HiZ.
Load: display impedance value (the default is 50Ω and the range is 50Ω to
100kΩ).
Note: This setting does not actually change the instrument’s output impedance
of 50Ω but rather is used to maintain amplitude accuracy into different load
values.
Output ----Channel output state.
After pressing corresponding channel output control port, the current channel
can be turned on/off.
5. LAN Status Icon
SDG2000X will show different prompt messages based on the current network
status.
This mark indicates LAN connection is successful.
This mark indicates there is no LAN connection or LAN connection is
unsuccessful.
6. Mode Icon
SDG2000X will show different prompt messages based on the current mode.
This mark indicates current mode is Phase-locked.

1.3 To Select a Waveform
Press Waveforms to enter the menu as Figure 1-5 shows. The example below
will help familiarize with the waveform selection settings.
Figure 1-5 Waveform Selections
1. Press Waveforms key and then press Sine softkey. The SDG2000X can
generate sine waveforms with frequencies from 1μHz to 120MHz. By
setting Frequency/Period, Amplitude/High level, Offset/Low level and
Phase, a sine signal with different parameters can be generated.
Figure 1-6 Sine Display Interface
2. Press Waveforms key and then press Square softkey. The generator can
generate square waveforms with frequencies from 1μHz to 25MHz and
variable duty cycle. By setting Frequency/Period, Amplitude/High level,
Offset/Low level, Phase and DutyCycle, a square waveform with different
parameters can be generated.
