About Function, Waveform & Signal Generators

A function generator is a type of frequency generator suitable for the development, testing, and repair of electronic test equipment. For example, an electrical test engineer could use one to introduce an error signal into a control loop. Because you can change parameters such as amplitude and frequency, you can easily isolate the generated signal from those already present in the system.</p >

A function signal generator can take the form of computer-based software or one of our range of purpose-built function generators designed to generate various types of the electrical waveform over a wide range of frequencies. The most common waveforms produced are sine, triangular, saw tooth, and square shapes and most models will allow you to set this as a repetitive or single shot.
