The UTG1042X is a two-channel arbitrary waveform generator of the Essential-Series, built around a 16-bit DAC and a 200 MSa/s sample rate. It produces sine output to 40 MHz and square and pulse to 20 MHz, with the 16-bit DAC providing 65,536 amplitude levels for low quantization noise and clean low-amplitude output.
Both channels offer 1 µHz frequency resolution and amplitude to 20 Vpp into high-Z. Seven modulation types (AM, FM, PM, ASK, FSK, PSK, PWM) with internal and external sources, linear and logarithmic sweep, three pulse-burst modes (N-cycle, gated, infinite), and 200 built-in arbitrary waveforms (4 kpts custom length) cover the range of bench signal-generation tasks. Total harmonic distortion stays below 0.2 % (DC to 20 kHz), and a built-in 7-digit frequency counter spans 100 mHz to 200 MHz. A 4.3-inch 480 × 272 TFT display, USB-Device, and USB-Host (for direct thumb-drive waveform upload) complete the interface.
It suits entry-bench design, education, and general analog and digital signal simulation where 16-bit output fidelity is wanted at the entry tier of the line.
