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.
