Ruideng JDS6600 AWG from Banggood

[@audiofreq]

This might be something I need to look into. I've been using an output cable from my computer, and using that as a waveform generator.

[@bblod4896]

I wish they would spray some shielding on the inside of the case. Could you do some AM and FM modulation test with a transceiver? Thank you for the review.

[@MalagasOnFire]

I have tried one simillar the JDS2900 which is almost identical to the FY2300. it was setted to english by default. Watch out for the referenced to the mains power supply and GND... Use isolation transformer on sensitive electronics if thats the case

[@MalagasOnFire]

One thing i did like is the simple and easy to use interface. It is really easy to get it started without using the manual and the PC software works very good, even on Linux using wine.

[@MalagasOnFire]

@@SpeccyMan Yes or use a USB 5V power bank with USB plug to Jack adapter. i'm not trying to ditch this item just trying to alert to this point. It is very simple to use and powerfull at a good price and as long you have 5V your're OK.

[@archimecatronicos5771]

Hello, I have a question, what is the TTL-in (GPI Digital signal input interface) pin in the port on the back of the function generator for? and investigated but could not find an application, I thought it was related to the function of the EXT-in frequency meter of the generator but they are not even bridged and as much as I investigate the TTL protocol I cannot find anything about that pin. Greetings from Chile.

[@T.CFGMInstMCarmenELE]

is this signal generator able to modulate signals or it only makes frequency sweeps?

[@Bluelagoonstudios]

Looks good except the lack of shielding, like beneath already be summed B Blod. But that can be arranged of course. In the webshop in the Netherlands they bring it out as Joy-It for double the price, so let's go to Bangood, thanks for the review.

Nice scope seems to have a quick response, I found your channel Thur 13 - 18. Like how you operate. I ran an electronics repair business for 23 years until the Moore's law caught up with me. I still tinker and really love doing it, just can't find my niche again. Before it was Boob tubes & VCR's I think you know what happened there, lol. Couldn't afford to retool and relearn. Take care of your self dude! Hooyah!

[@learnelectronics]

Thank you

[@Travis141123]

Nice thing about these new units is they take up a lot less bench space. You can set up a decent beginners lab on a standard desk.

[@learnelectronics]

True, this guy is quite compact.

[@ForSynthsSake]

Does this unit suffer from floating volages on the earth, like the Feeltech fy6900? I am guessing that it doesnt as it has a psu outside the box.

[@Pagurja]

Does it have a ramp wave?

[@Kurt1968]

This AWG is sold under several different names. I bought one recently branded SeeSii. One thing that I've noticed is the amount of RF noise the wall wart creates and shows up on my Hantek DSO5102P scope. Also, is it normal to see 50V P-P of a modified sine wave measured on the shell of the BNC connector even when the unit is turned off? Shouldn't it be better isolated when powered off? Even touching one lead of my volt meter to the BNC shell (AC Volts) shows a ~6V reading. What's going on here?

[@learnelectronics]

I think you may have a lemon.

[@mikemullenix6956]

Thanks Paul . I just purchased one of these at bang good. This is the 2nd item l have purchased because of your product demos. I also purchased the loto osca02 oscilloscope! Thanks.

[@learnelectronics]

Cool if I can be any help, let me know.

[@michaelpadovani9566]

Very nice gift from Banggood and good thorough review. Amazing that half is empty space inside. Merry early Christmas!

[@learnelectronics]

Thanks

[@M0XYM]

Expert opinion required - Is the grounding issue common to switched mode power supplies?

[@robertcalkjr.8325]

Thanks Paul. Merry Christmas! I like my little FeelTech that goes to 60MHz.

[@MichaelEckl]

Great video as always Paul! I actually use the same signal generator and I'm quite happy with it.

[@jma8352]

dose this put an audible sound for radio alignment?

[@learnelectronics]

Yes

[@ed-jf3xh]

I'm curious what the upper freq limit of your scope is. I've got one of the MH's that goes to 25Mcs and it's output shows to be attenuated at the high end but it isn't due to my o'scope lacking headroom but the generator is using lower grade op amps that are being run at their extreme limit. As I said, just curious.

[@learnelectronics]

It's 50MHz

[@ed-jf3xh]

Thanks.

[@gl0sek]

This looks awesome for the price

[@rolandberendonck3900]

Hi Paul, I took a peek in your shop but I cannot find any clamp meter in there? Since you are so in for multimeters, do you have any recommendations for a good (price/performance) clamp meter? because I am looking for one. And do you yourself use them besides your seventy multimeters? ..... After some more investigation I found one in your shop, but it is hided behind a picture of another multimeter?? The link goes to the Meterk Mk06?? ..... The Meterk Mk06 is sold out, so bought the UT210E.

[@learnelectronics]

I don't have any, but I will get a few to test in January.

[@rolandberendonck3900]

@@learnelectronics I am surprised Paul, because you are such a hardware j*nkie ;) just like me btw :) But this UT210E must be good. Your friend Big Clive has one too. But I am a bit puzzeled why you added the Meterk MK06 in your personal store, but you do not have it in your personal hardware collection???

[@mikeoliver3254]

I really like this signal generator, great video Paul. Looks like Banggood sent you a nice Christmas present. Hope you mom and you are doing well. Take care of yourself.

[@mrkattm]

You did not cover any of the important stuff, voltage accuracy and range, output impedance or phase noise.

[@freelectron2029]

or use the frequency counter

[@JAKOB1977]

Usually not the motive to analyze or review these products and show how they actually perform out in the open. the motive is some advertising as a "thanks" to these Chinese business "friends" for gifting an item and then an incentive to piggyback ride other people's purchases from China.

At the EEVblog forum there is a tread on this device www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/anybody-know-anything-about-this-signal-generator/ interesting if you want to know some more, and nice close up pictures of the internal parts

Do our friends at Banggood supply us with a schematic for this device?

[@learnelectronics]

Afraid not

[@georgechambers3197]

I have an NIU from Banggood that has all the same functions. I don't remember what it cost but I think it was close. Mine although doesn't have a nice big color screen. 😥 Happy holidays and Christmas to all. How is Mom doing, well I hope? Thanks for laying another review on us! 😀

[@learnelectronics]

She is in less pain, we will find out about the bones in Monday. Thanks for asking my friend.

[@robertwebb5586]

Hey!...That's Mine.....:) I have the 60Mhz one

[@lexboegen]

OK, at the risk of being recognized as ignorant--what is the real-world use of a signal generator? I assume that it has better uses than just putting pretty pictures up on a DSO. Is it used for troubleshooting electronic circuits, and if so, how? Please use small words and speak slowly---I am electronically-challenged. Thank you.

[@learnelectronics]

It has lots of uses in real world electronics, for instance let's say you are building an analog amplifier for a stereo system. You may want to run sine waves of varying frequencies and amplitudes through your design to see how it will respond to different input signals. Momentary it can also be used to test radio receivers, or even used to generate a clock signal for digital circuits.

[@Leif_YT]

Let me say that you're not the only one with that question :) I've subscribed many electronic channels and have seen so many signal generators in rewiews, but so far i haven't seen a single video showing it in use and what it would be good for. I would love to see some practical videos to learn what they can be be used for.

[@lexboegen]

@@learnelectronics Thank you for your reply. It sounds like it could be a useful tool, if you have the knowledge and skill to use it (but that's true of any tool).

[@lexboegen]

@Proscriptus I never heard of that. Thanks! Now I'm off to search KZbin for some videos demonstrating that.

You would be crazy to buy that on Banggood if it doesn't arrive they will just blame the courier service. Worst customer support ever.

[@4madsat]

to all change the power suplly because is not safe!

[@learnelectronics]

It is a perfectly safe power supply.

[@madcockney]

People are getting confused with an earlier function generator that had an inbuilt SM power supply that could give you a shock on the BNC ground connector. SDG Electronics did a KZbin video on it about three years ago and the mods that he did to get over it. He has also done another video recently on the latest version still with a Switch Mode power Supply and how it has improved thogh he did replace the internal power supply. Though some of these are badged for different suppliers not all are, and even some with virtually the same case maybe different inside. However that doesn't mean that there isn't a Chinese company out there supplying the main and display boards to other companies to complete with power supply, etc.
