DG2041A Memory Clear Procedure. In many cases, customers may want to clear the memory on a DG2041A. Here is the procedure that will clear all of the memory locations within the instrument. 
More information about Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) This note describes PWM schemes in more detail. We also cover configuring a DG4000 for PWM output and a short description of the current pulse and PWM capabilities of our product line. Why does my DG2041A only save 1 Arbitrary waveform to Nonvolatile memory? This is a known bug. There is no fix at this time. UltraWave nonvolatile save bug and manual workaround. UltraWave Version 01.04 does not save to nonvolatile memory with DG2041A's properly.Here is a manual workaround. How to remotely execute a manual trigger on a DG2041A Arbitrary Function Generator ? A sweep can be triggered either continuously by selecting the internal trigger option, externally by selecting the EXT trigger option or Manually by selecting the Manual option and pushing the Trigger button on the front panel.The programming interfac Are your products UL or CSA listed? At this time, many of our products are C TUV USA listed. Per the TUV website, http://www.tuvasi.com/en/tests-and-analysis/information-about-nrtl-tests.htmlThe C TUV US mark is recognized as the equivalent and direct replacement to the UL and CSA m When I plug in my instrument via USB, I get a Windows Page Fault error ( Blue Screen of Death / BSoD ). There is a known issue with the IVI VISA Shared components version.See attached document for more details. Software Compatibility The attached PDF file describes Windows 7 Compatibility Issues. Help File Error: Navigation to web page cancelled. Some instrument manuals are compiled HTML files with extensions ending in .CHM. On occasion, they have shown Navigation to web page cancelled. Here are some steps to help solve that error. Where do I find instrument drivers for LabVIEW? http://www.ni.com/downloads/idnet/ Why does the amplitude of my function generator not match the displayed amplitude? Instruments like the Rigol DG Arbitrary Waveform Generators are designed with a 50 ohm output impedance in parallel with the output of the instrument.When a circuit or device is connected to the output, it is electrically connected in parallel to this Rigol Scopes VISA Driver Installation / Rigol’s UltraScope software not detect Rigol scope attached to PC via USB OR User receives Run Time Error '48': File not found VISA32.DLL error message when UltraScope is launched. The user either has not installed the latest available National Instruments VISA Runtime engine or the version of National Instrument’s VISA Runtime Engine included on the CD that the user installed is outdated.In both cases, the recommended solution VISA Runtime for Apple OS X To use a VISA compatible Rigol instrument under Apple OS X, the user must install National Instruments VISA run-time engine for OS XAs of this writing the latest OS X VISA run-time engine from National Instruments is NI-VISA 5.0NI-VISA 5.0 can be Bits vs. dBs Here are instructions on converting bits of resolution to dBs. My Instrument IVI Driver does not appear in the LabVIEW tools palette. You may need to manually find and convert the IVI driver. See attachment for more details.
