This device, measuring 172mm x 90mm x 68mm, is quite small. While not something you’d want to hold in your hand like the scopes previously reviewed, it would be very easy to pop into a backpack for remote work. While small, it has an impressive array of controls, including a knob and numeric keypad.

BNC connectors for channels 1, 2, and counter/sync are found on the right of side of the unit, and the power switch, power cable, and USB A socket are on the left. The 4.3 inch, 480x272 pixel TFT LCD screen is easy to see.

This waveform generator comes in two flavors, 30MHz (UTG932E reviewed here) and 60MHz (UTG962E). While one might posit that 60MHz is twice as good as 30MHz, the improvement between the two is in fact a bit more incremental.

As elaborated upon in the VoltLog video, consider that both units have a sample rate of 200MSa/s. Divide that value by 30MHz, and you get 6.7 samples per cycle. 60MHz gives you 3.3 just samples per cycle, which would seem largely unusable in most situations. Going through the datasheet, only the sine wave output is listed as having a maximum of 60MHz, with other outputs being only incrementally better than the 30MHz spec.

The UNI-T UTG932E is definitely worth a look if the specs meet your needs. Be sure to enter the raffle (linked above) to win this one. Good luck!

You seemed to like holding that banana too much 😄 Seriously though, nice review.
