  • TrueArb and EasyPulse technologies reduce jitter in pulse output
  • Built-in frequency counter plus USB and LAN connectivity

Dual-channel 40 MHz function generator

The SIGLENT SDG2042X provides two independent 40 MHz channels with 16-bit vertical resolution and a 1.2 GSa/s interpolated sample rate. Proprietary TrueArb and EasyPulse technologies reduce jitter on arbitrary, square, and pulse waveforms. It includes EasyWave editing software and a built-in high-precision frequency counter. Touch-screen operation simplifies complex signal creation for test engineers and educators.

Verify interface and accessory needs

Confirm your PC or test system offers USB or LAN connectivity for remote control and data transfer. A GPIB adapter is optional and not included, so order it separately if your rack uses that bus. Ensure bench space accommodates the desktop form factor and that your probes and cables suit the front-panel outputs. No rack-mount hardware is mentioned in the specifications.

Integrates into automated test benches

USB and LAN ports enable scripted control from common programming environments, freeing the operator for other tasks. Dual outputs let you stimulate two circuit nodes simultaneously, reducing setup changes during IC test or sensor simulation. The arbitrary waveform editor runs on a connected computer, keeping the generator panel clear for manual adjustments when needed. Optional GPIB extends compatibility with legacy automation racks.

Questions about this item

Does the SDG2042X include cables or accessories, or do I need to buy them separately?

The generator ships with the main unit, a power cord, a USB cable and the EasyWave arbitrary waveform editing software. Test leads, BNC adapters and the optional GPIB adapter are sold separately.

How do I choose between the available versions of the SDG2042X?

The SDG2042X is a single 40 MHz dual-channel model. There are no alternate bandwidth or channel-count versions to select; choose this unit when you need two independent 40 MHz outputs with 16-bit vertical resolution.

What does the 1.2 GSa/s sample rate mean for my waveforms?

The 1.2 GSa/s interpolated rate combined with 16-bit resolution lets TrueArb technology reproduce arbitrary waveforms with fine detail, while EasyPulse removes the one-clock jitter that plagues traditional DDS square and pulse edges.
