Greetings,
my son and I recently ran into the obvious issue that the integrated function generator in our Hantek scope is unbalanced, and even worse, seems to share ground with the scope probe, so it seems pretty useless to test equipment with balanced inputs and outputs.
I am looking into options to buy a separate signal or function generator. Would something really basic like this do the job?

This unit seems to be analog, but still unbalanced.

Or skip the budget units and go for a 'real' arbitrary function generator like a FeelTech fy6800 ?
Or would it make sense to get (or build) something like the ATI matchmaker?
Thanks for your help, any advice is appreciated.
