If you have a modern function generator on your bench it is quite likely to contain a direct-digital synthesis circuit that creates arbitrary waveforms using a microprocessor controlled DAC. If you ...

Unlike digital RF generators that produce only sine waves, function generators can produce repetitive waveforms of different shapes such as sine, square, triangular, sawtooth, and pulse. Function ...

When working with test equipment such as oscilloscopes and function generators, it can be useful to take a screen capture. Historically this was done with Polaroid cameras that were bolted in place, ...

Anyone searching for a function generator may be interested in a new DIY Arduino project which details how you can make your very own. “A function generator is a very useful tool, especially when we ...

Test applications often call for a clock signal. Rather than tie up a function generator, you can build a programmable clock generator with just two ICs. You can then control the clock generator with ...

A dead Tek FG503 function generator plug-in inspires a teardown. The culprit? A bad op amp in the power supply. A former coworker friend sent me a Tektronix 3-slot mainframe and several plug-in ...

Looking to output different types of signals to design, test and troubleshoot your electronics? Try out the function generator at Sears think[box]. Bring your electronics to Floor 3 of Sears think[box ...
