I just purchased an XG3 adding it to my small collection of test instruments. Of course, the first thing I did was direct hooked the output to my Scope. What i see is not pretty. At various frequencies and levels, nothing looks like a great looking clean square wave that i was expecting. I get the right frequencies and levels, but the shapes are not great (over/under shoot, rounded tops/bottoms etc). 

Am i looking at this incorrectly, or are my expectations unreasonable? For the record, on the same equipment, the output of a cheap Chinese function generator (eevblogs Dave Jone’s one hung low specials!) looks great, almost perfectly square, with excellent risk/fall times, sharp corners, not much over/under shoot etc. 

any advise welcome,
