Introduction
The instrument is a versatile, high performance function generator. It provides sine,
square and triangle wave outputs over the frequency range from 0.01 Hz to 10 MHz
in eight overlapping ranges. It is a rugged, easy to operate, with high stability and
excellent heat dissipation. An auxiliary TTL output at the generator frequency is
available to synchronize external devices. The output voltage can be varied from
0V to 10V peak-to-peak into 50 ohms or to 20V into open circuit. The DC level of the
output can be adjusted using the offset control. Two front panel pushbuttons can
attenuate the output by 20 dB or 40 dB (60 dB in cascade operation). You can also
directly control amplitude and DC offset.
The instrument frequency is set with a front panel knob, measured with a built-in
counter and displayed using ve LED digits. Additionally, the internal counter can
be used to measure an external signal, up to 50 MHz, with up to 6-digit resolution. It
provides high input impedance and good sensitivity. The symmetry function allows
the user to vary the duty of frequency. When you push the switch of symmetry
ON, the output waveform symmetry is adjustable. The sweep-IN function provides
external voltage source to control the output frequency. The output frequency can
be swept above or below the selected frequency to a maximum of 100:1, depending
on the amplitude of input and the selected output frequency. The output waveform
can be internally linear or logarithmic swept over three decades. The start and stop
frequencies can be separately adjusted and displayed. The output waveform can
be internally or externally modulated in amplitude or in frequency. The internal
modulation signal is a 1 KHz sine wave. The AM level can be adjusted from 0 to 100%.
The exceptional accuracy, its portability and stackable design makes this valuable
instrument for using by the electronic engineer, the communication’s technician,
schools and laboratories.
