Tenma 72-5015 User Manual

Tenma 72-5015 Function Generator
Quick Guide
The Tenma 72-5015 Function generator is a multiple output repetitive function generator.
It is capable producing a sine, triangle or square wave with an adjustable frequency and
amplitude, as well as a digital square wave output. The waveform symmetry and base
amplitude voltage can be modified, as well as setting the frequency to sweep between
two limits at an adjustable rate.
Display and Display mode:
The frequency output display can be set to display the output frequency of the function
generator or can be used to measure an external digital frequency.
The display indicates the frequency and the lit indicator below the display indicates the
frequency range. The EXT button, when depressed, switches the display into counter
mode. Leaving this button out allows the display to indicate the frequency that the
generator is set at. There is also an attenuation button to the right of the EXT button.
This allows the incoming signal to be attenuated, or reduced by 20dB if the signal
amplitude coming in is too large.
Frequency setting:
The output frequency is controlled by a combination of controls. The range buttons
select the range of the
signal to be generated.
