  • Detail
  • Special Features
  • Specification

The RIGOL DG800 Pro Series Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator is designed for engineers, technicians, research laboratories, educational institutions and electronics manufacturers requiring a flexible source for standard, pulse, modulated and arbitrary signals.

The series combines several test functions in one compact instrument:

  • Function generator

The RIGOL DG800 Pro Series includes:

  • DG821 Pro: 25 MHz, one output channel
  • DG822 Pro: 25 MHz, two output channels
  • DG852 Pro: 50 MHz, two output channels

All three models provide:

  • 625 MSa/s maximum sampling rate

  • 2 Mpts standard arbitrary waveform memory per channel
  • Optional 8 Mpts memory per channel
  • 7-inch colour touchscreen
  • USB and LAN connectivity
  • Web Control
  • USB Type-C power input
  • Independent external frequency-counter input

The single-channel DG821 Pro can be upgraded to two-channel operation using the applicable channel-upgrade option.

 

Standard Waveform Generation

The DG800 Pro Series supports common waveforms required for laboratory and electronic test applications.

Available continuous waveform types include:

  • Sine
  • Square
  • Ramp
  • Pulse
  • Noise
  • Arbitrary
  • Harmonic

These waveforms can be used for:

  • Amplifier testing
  • Filter evaluation
  • Clock generation
  • Sensor simulation
  • Analog circuit testing
  • Digital circuit debugging
  • Control-system stimulation
  • Communication experiments
  •  

Arbitrary Waveform Generation

The series supports arbitrary waveform generation with a maximum sample rate of 625 MSa/s and 16-bit vertical resolution.

Standard arbitrary waveform memory is 2 Mpts per channel, while the optional memory upgrade increases capacity to 8 Mpts per channel.

Arbitrary waveform generation is useful for reproducing:

  • Sensor outputs
  • Biomedical signals
  • Communication patterns
  • Power disturbances
  • Irregular pulses
  • Recorded signal conditions
  • Automotive waveforms
  • Custom engineering test signals

The arbitrary waveform length can be configured from 32 points per channel to the installed memory limit.

 

SiFi II Signal Fidelity Technology

The DG800 Pro uses RIGOL SiFi II technology for point-by-point arbitrary waveform generation.

This approach is designed to:

  • Preserve the original waveform point sequence
  • Reduce skipped or repeated waveform points
  • Improve arbitrary waveform fidelity
  • Reduce signal jitter
  • Support precisely adjustable sample rates
  • Improve reproduction of complex waveform shapes

RIGOL specifies output jitter as low as approximately 200 ps RMS under applicable conditions.

 

Dual-Channel Signal Generation

The DG822 Pro and DG852 Pro include two output channels. The DG821 Pro provides one channel as standard and supports an optional second-channel upgrade.

Dual-channel operation is suitable for:

  • Simultaneous generation of two signals
  • Phase-related waveform testing
  • Differential circuit stimulation
  • Clock and data simulation
  • Reference and excitation signal generation
  • Two-stage circuit testing
  • Dual-input amplifier testing
  • I/Q signal simulation

Each channel can be configured with its own frequency, amplitude, offset, phase, waveform and modulation settings.

 

Frequency Capability

The maximum sine-wave frequency depends on the selected model:

  • DG821 Pro: 25 MHz
  • DG822 Pro: 25 MHz
  • DG852 Pro: 50 MHz

Waveform-specific frequency limits differ from the maximum sine-wave rating.

For the DG852 Pro:

  • Sine: up to 50 MHz
  • Square: up to 40 MHz
  • Ramp: up to 1 MHz
  • Pulse: up to 25 MHz
  • Arbitrary: up to 15 MHz
  • Harmonic: up to 25 MHz

For the DG821 Pro and DG822 Pro:

  • Sine: up to 25 MHz
  • Square: up to 20 MHz
  • Ramp: up to 1 MHz
  • Pulse: up to 10 MHz
  • Arbitrary: up to 10 MHz
  • Harmonic: up to 10 MHz

The maximum output frequency should therefore be specified according to the selected waveform type rather than applied to every signal function.

 

Sequence Generation

The DG800 Pro supports advanced sequence generation for combining multiple waveform events into one automated test profile.

The sequence function supports:

  • Up to 64 waveform entries

Maximum combined AC and DC output is:

  • ±5 Vpk into 50 Ω
  • ±10 Vpk into high impedance

The output impedance is nominally 50 Ω.

 

Independent Frequency Counter

The series includes a dedicated external frequency-counter input with bandwidth up to 500 MHz.

The seven-digit frequency counter can measure:

  • Frequency
  • Period
  • Duty cycle
  • Positive pulse width
  • Negative pulse width

It also supports statistical analysis of measurement results.

The frequency-counter input is separate from the waveform output channels, allowing an external signal to be measured while the generator produces test signals.

The display supports:

  • Simultaneous dual-channel waveform viewing
  • Touch-based parameter adjustment
