To Use External Power Amplifier (Option) 
 
DG1000Z supports the connection with the Power Amplifier (PA). You can configure 
the parameters of the Power Amplifier (PA) and DG1000Z will amplify the signal 
before output. To use external power amplifier, please install the PA1011 option. 
 
PA1011 is one of the options provided for RIGOL DG Series Function/Arbitrary 
Waveform Generators, with up to 1 MHz full power bandwidth and higher than 80 
V/µs slew rate. It can be connected with all DG series products to quickly build test 
platform and can also be used as an independent power amplifier to be used with 
other signal generators. 
 
Main Features of PA1011: 
  Flexible and easy communication with RIGOL DG Series Function/Arbitrary 
Waveform Generators or PC software through the USB interface. 
  You can set the gain (x1 or x10), output polarity (Normal or Invert), output 
offset and output switch of the power amplifier flexibly in connection with its 
software. 
  Up to 50kΩ input impedance. 
  The integrated output protection circuit (over-current protection and internal 
temperature abnormal protection) ensures the instrument is working stably, 
reliably and safely. 
  Compact size, easy to carry and use.
