Function Generator: Electronic Test Instrument

A function generator is an electronic test instrument used to generate different types of electrical waveforms like sine, square, and triangular waves over a wide range of frequencies. It has controls to adjust the frequency, waveform type, DC offset, and duty cycle. Function generators are used in developing, testing, and repairing electronic equipment by serving as a signal source to test components like amplifiers or introduce error signals into control loops.

FUNCTION GENERATOR

Electronic test instrument


FUNCTION GENERATOR
Definition:
A function generator is usually a piece of electronic
test equipment or software used to generate
different types of electrical waveforms over a wide
range of frequencies.
Some of the most common waveforms
generator are:
The sine, square, triangular
Function generator controls
Frequency:
This control alters the basic frequency at which the waveform repeats.
Waveform Type:
Sine, Square or Triangular wave.
DC offset:
This alters the average voltage of a signal relative to OV or ground.

Duty Cycle:
This control on the function generator changes the ratio of high
voltage to low voltage
Usages of Function Generator:
Function generators are used in the development,
   
test and repair of electronic equipment.

Example:
They may be used as a signal source to
test amplifiers or to introduce an error
signal into a control loop.
