SIGLENT The Output key on the right is used to turn on/off CH2 output. The nominal output impedance of the BNC connector is 50Ω. When pressing Output (the key backlight turns on), the connector outputs waveform according current configuration of CH2. CAUTION: Overvolltage protection of CH1 and CH2 will take effect once any of the following conditions is met.

SIGLENT 4. Earth Terminal Used to ground the instrument. 5. AC Power Supply Input SDG2000X can accept two different types of AC input power. AC power: 100-240V, 50/60Hz or 100-120V, 400Hz Fuse: 1.25A, 250V 6. USB Device Used when connecting the instrument to an external computer to allow waveform editing (such as EasyWave) and remote control.
SIGLENT Touch Screen Display SDG2000X can only display parameters and waveform of one channel at a time. The picture below shows the interface when CH1 chooses AM modulation of sine waveform. The information displayed may vary depending on the function selected. The entire screen of the SDG2000X is a touch screen.

Modulation Parameters Area Shows the parameters of the current modulation function. After touching this area of the screen or pressing corresponding menu, use number keys or knob to change the parameter value.
SIGLENT Use Built-In Help System To obtain built-in help information of the product, please press Utility key first, then press Page 1/2 and Help, use the knob to choose the help item you want, finally press Select to obtain help information.
SIGLENT Introduction of EasyWave Arbitrary editing software EasyWave provides 9 standard waveforms: Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse, ExpRise, ExpFall, Sinc, Noise and DC, which meets most engineers’ basic needs. In addition, it provides several ways of manual drawing, point-to-point line drawing and arbitrary point drawing. EasyWave allows for fast and easy creation of complex waveforms.
