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

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.
Do not operate with suspected failures.
If you suspect that the product is damaged, please let only qualified service
personnel check it.
Avoid circuit or wire exposure.
Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the power is on.

Introduction to SDG1000X
The manual covers the following 2 models of SDG1000X Series
Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators: SDG1032X and SDG1062X.
SIGLENT‘s SDG1000X is a series of dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform
generators with specifications of up to 60MHz maximum bandwidth, 150MSa/s
sampling rate and 14-bit vertical resolution. The proprietary EasyPulse

User Interface
The SDG1000X can only display parameters and waveform information for
one channel at a time. The picture below shows the interface when CH1
chooses AM modulation of a sine waveform. The information displayed may
vary depending on the function selected.

1. Waveform Display Area
Displays the currently selected waveform of each channel.
2. Channel Status Bar
Indicates the selected status and output configuration of the channels.
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
SDG1000X 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
SDG1000X will show different prompt messages based on the current mode.
This mark indicates current mode is Phase-locked.
This mark indicates current mode is Independent.
7. Menu
Shows the menu corresponding to the displayed function. For example, Figure
