DG5000 | Series Arbitrary Waveform Generators
Selection GuideDG5000 is a multipurpose generator combining different capabilities including Function Generation, Arbitrary Waveform Generation, IQ Baseband Source/IQ IF Source, Frequency Hopping Source (optional) and Pattern Generation (optional). With single and true, independent, dual-channel models that provide adjustable phases between the two channels. The DG5000 adopts Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) technology, which providing stable, precise, low distortion signals. The user-friendly interface design and panel layout improves efficiency or utilize an interface for complete programmability.

How to activate the frequency hopping option of DG5000 series? This solution outlines the upgrade procedure for the frequency hopping option available on the DG5000 series of arbitrary waveform generators. 
DG5000 Self Test Procedure How to perform a self test and clear the FRAM fail indication. This false fail will appear after power cycle and can only be cleared using this procedure every time. DG5000 Packing List Attached is an example of the packing list of all included items in the DG5000 series. 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. What products are LXI compliant? The attached document lists the LXI Compliant instruments. DG5000 IVI Driver Example LabVIEW 2011 Here is a basic control program using the DG5000 IVI Driver written in LabVIEW 2011. 
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. The instrument not recognized over the USB bus In some cases, an instrument may not be recognized over the USB bus. Here are some troubleshooting hints to help. -
