The Quick Guide brochure explained how to adjust the front legs, connect it to power, do an initial self-calibration, and the layout of the controls and ports, but little else. Yes, I am that old! IвЂ™m hoping Rigol will supply us a proper case in the future. It rather reminds me of the old-time doctorвЂ™s kits when they used to make house calls. I do love the rounded вЂњlunchboxвЂќ style case.

The front pouch is large enough to carry an assortment of cables and adapters and the rear compartment fits the line cord nicely. I also noticed (painfully) the front snap-clips that hold the cover closed will pinch your fingers, if held on the sides while snapping them closed. The carry case is well made and nicely padded, but was originally designed for their 1000-series oscilloscopes, so it's a very tight fit for the wider analyzer and the вЂњhold-downвЂќ straps donвЂ™t fit all the way across the top. One minor thing I couldnвЂ™t help noticing was that the carry handle, while mounted with metal pins (comforting), wasnвЂ™t mounted at the center of mass, so the unit tilts slightly forward when carried. Obviously, there's some shielding inside. The second thing that struck me was the weight of the unit for its size at 9.4 pounds. It's no larger than some of the smaller-size budget oscilloscopes with dimensions of 14вЂі wide by 7вЂі tall by just 5вЂі deep. Upon opening the box, the first thing that struck me was the small size of the unit and the apparent quality of the enclosure and controls. This product replaces models from the DSA1000 series.Figure 1 вЂ“ The Rigol DSA815TG (with tracking generator). Now includes Preamplifier Option PA-DSA832 as standard (a $629 option). Optional extras include: Preamplifier, Advanced Measurement Functions, EMI Filter & Quasi-Peak Detector Kit, VSWR Measurement Kit, RF TX/RX Training Kit, and other RF accessories (Cable, Adaptor, Attenuator, Bridge, etc.) This will pay for itself quickly by avoiding a failed trip to the compliance lab! When product compliance testing is planned, first check your design with the DSA832E-TG and some near-field probes. The DSA832E-TG includes useful standard capabilities which include AM/FM demodulation. And compared with traditional analog designs, the digital IF design greatly reduces the hardware complexity, system instability caused by channel ageing, and the temperature sensitivity that can contribute to failure. The digital IF design means high precision amplitude readings, and virtually eliminates errors generated by filter switching, reference level uncertainty, scale distortion, as well as errors produced when switching between logarithmic and linear amplitude display with traditional analog IF designs. Ideal for benchtop or field-based use, it is ideal for use in a wide range of RF, wireless test, and production situations. The 8вЂќwidescreen LCD and straightforward operation has resulted in a very useful and affordable tool for RF designers. Equipment connectivity includes LAN (LXI), USB Host & Device, with a GPIB interface available as an option. The IF filter enables smaller bandwidth settings (10Hz minimum resolution bandwidth) which greatly reduces the displayed average noise level (DANL -148 dBm typical). The DSA832E-TG features all-digital IF technology so you can measure even smaller signals than previously.
