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… ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

Your circuit prototype finally is complete, and now you need a signal source to test it. The function generator is a good choice. It can provide sine, square, and triangular waveforms from ...
