INTRODUCTION
‘The Model FG2 Function Generator is a wide-range instrument capable of producing signals in the 0.2 Hz
to. 2,0 MHz range Thus, if is especially useful for applications ranging from vibration testing, general audic
testing through AM radio applications, ultrasonic device testing, and servo system testing, It is a general
purpose, feature-packed instrument designed for easy operations. The front panet is (aid ov: logically; there
are numerous LED indicators to provide feedback to the user.
‘The Mode! FG2 Function Generator is an AC-operated instrument with many outstanding features.
Produces square, triangle, and sine waves and TTL pulses
Produces signals in the 0.2 Hz to 2.0 MHz range in seven decade increments:
Variable frequency multiplier
Duty cycle control
Variable DC offset controt
Signat inversion
Output amplitude contro!
YGF (vollage controlled frequency) input
Selt extinguisning plastic case, test leads, and AC power cord

Three interlocking pushbutton switches provide selection of Ine desired cutput waveform. Depressing
one switch will release the switch previously depressed
ATTENUATOR Switch
Pushing this switch in will result in a fixed 20 db attenuation of the output waveform ampiitude.
MULTIPLIER
The MULTIPLIER is a variable potentiometer allowing frequency settings between fixed ranges. Although
the dial scale is calibrated from 0.2 19 2.0, the dynamic range of the MULTIPLIER is actually larger
However, seitings below 0.2 and above 2.0 are nonlinear
DUTY Centro!
Time symmetry of the output wavetorms, as well as the TTL PULSE output, is contealled by the DUTY
potentiometer. When this control is set to the CAL position, Ihe time symmetry of the output waveforms,
15 50/50, oF approximately 100% symmetrical. This ts the 50% duty cycle point,
The variable symmetry atlows the time period of one-half the wavelorm to be changed white the other
half remains liked as determined by RANGE end MULTIPLIER settings. This unique feature provides
tamip waveforms, variable pulse widih, and variable duly cycle pulses, and skewed sine waves
