To Use the External Power Amplifier (Option)
You can connect an external power amplifier to DG4000 and set the power
amplifier parameters to amplify the signal before output. To use the external
power amplifier, install the PA1011 option.
PA1011 is an optional accessory for RIGOL DG series function/arbitrary waveform
generator. PA1011 provides 1MHz maximum full power bandwidth and greater
than 80V/µs output slew rate. It can be used with any of the DG series products to
quickly build a test platform or be used with other signal generators as an
independent power amplifier.
Main features of PA1011:
 Flexible and easy communication with RIGOL DG series signal generator or
PC via the USB interface.
 Users can set the gain (X1 or X10), polarity (normal or invert), output offset
and output switch of the amplifier via RIGOL DG series signal generator or
PC software.
 Provide up to 50kΩ input impedance.
 An integrated output protection circuit (output overcurrent protection and
internal temperature abnormity protection) ensures the stable, reliable and
safe operation of the instrument.
 Small in size, portable and easy to use.
