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 ...

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, ...

The traditional analog function generator with its customary triple-threat ensemble of square, triangle, and sine waveform outputs is a familiar tool on electronics lab benches. It’s also a classical ...

The possibility of creating a frequency-tunable function generator with rectangular and triangular pulses of constant amplitude and electronic synchronous control of equivalent capacitances in the ...

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 ...

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 ...

A former coworker friend sent me a Tektronix 3-slot mainframe and several plug-in modules (Fig. 1). The TM500-series mainframes are 1970s vintage, but like a lot of old test equipment, can still work ...
