By using a function generator’s triggered burst function, you can create pulses with pulse widths that are relatively short (or relatively long) with respect to their periods.

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 ...

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… ...

Download this article in PDF format. Arbitrary function generators (AFGs) are used to generate many different types of electrical waveforms, such as sine waves, square waves, triangular waves, and ...

The XR2206 function generator DIY kit is really a cheap and easy to build one that can be handy for most beginners and electronics enthusiasts. In my lab, it performed quite well making near-perfect ...

A dead Tek FG503 function generator plug-in inspires a teardown. The culprit? A bad op amp in the power supply.
