 PURPOSE OF
SIGNAL
GENERATOR

A com m on use is to test the response of circuits to a known input signal .

Most function generators allow you to generate sine , square or triangular

AC function signals .
 Signal generators of all types are mostly used
in designing , manufacturing , servicing and
repairing electronic devices .
