I recently purchased a Rigol DG4102 Arbitrary waveform generator. I have been playing around and just wanted to ask the wealth of experience here about what I am seeing.
When I generate a 5 MHz square wave (or any frequency square wave for that matter) and view it on my Rigol DS2102 scope I am seeing what I think is ringing (maybe) . I have attached a screen capture of the scope and was hoping someone could comment on if this is correct or typical of a square wave produced on a function generator or if something funny is happening with my scope.
Thanks
Not implying you're an idiot, but, what are your connections?
What I am asking is if it should have the oscillation present at the top and bottom of each cycle. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I don't have any one I can ask.
Glad this helps !

And don't be embarrassed, every moment had it's 1st time.
Btw, if you really want to see the "REAL" output, use coaxial cable with both BNC connectors at both ends, assuming your scope has 50 Ohm termination mode, hook them up directly, it will be an eyes opener.
The function generator was supposed to come with a bnc to bnc coax cable but somehow it didn't make it in the box. Unfortunately I live in the bush and will have to order some bnc fittings and coax to make some leads up for my new toy. I'm just starting to get back into electronics and have never had the luxury of owning a scope or a function generator. The last few weeks have been a steep learning curve!! Thanks again for your help.
