Keithley 3390



A function generator is a piece of equipment used to generate electrical waveforms, in the form of a time-varying voltage. Different types of waveforms can be generated over a range of frequencies; up to 25MHz for sine wave. Common waveforms include sine, square, triangle and sawtooth waves. Other repeating waves, as well as arbitrary waves and noise can also be generated. The function generator is commonly used to simulate input signals used to test or develop equipment or circuits. It can also be used for calibrating test equipment such as oscilloscopes.

This model has two output channels, capable of producing a peak-to-peak voltage of 1mV to 10V. The instrument also contains a frequency counter feature, used to read the frequency, period, or duty cycle of an external input signal between 100mHz and 200MHz.
