1. INTRODUCTION
It has a constant signal amplitude with the output signal symmetrical about zero. the
frequency is indicated on a digital indicator the front panel. It has a maximum of 20 V
peak tp peak signal amplitude with 50 / 600 Ohms load Impedance. It has an offset
control provided for signal which increase the versality of the instrument.
This compact unit has ranges from 0.1Hz to 1MHz. Range & function selection adds
convenience to versatility. Added features not found in function generators of this price
range are voltage control and a seperate pulse ouptut suitable for synchronization or
driving TTL logic circuits.
The instrument is desibned using easily available components resulting in ease of ser-
viceability. Greater emphasis has been put on ruggedness & reliability with the use of
single pcb for complete circuit. The lower frequencies are of special interest to servo
manuffactureres. Offers sine, square, triangle functions upto 1 MHz. Ramp and Pulse
functions are also typically available.
FEATURES
# Excellent wave shape, signal linearity and wave form symmetry.
# Wide frequency range from 0.1 Hz - 1 MHz.
# Wide functional capabilities at a modest price.
# Commendable frequency and amplitude stability.
# Separate trigger Output (TTL) and facility of DC offset.
# Two switch selectable Output impedance 50 and 600 ohms.

OPERATING INFORMATION
INSTALLATION
A. MAINS SUPPLY :
This instrument will work satisfactorily with electric mains voltage between 195V and
245 V A. C. 50 Hz. In case of fluctuation beyond these voltages, a suitable external
transformer should be provided for voltage adjustment within the specified limits.
B. EARTHING :
It is not essential to earth the instrument for proper operation. However, the earhting by
means of the earthing pin of the power supply receptacle is provided for safer operation.
OPERATION
A. CONNECTING TO MAINS :
Connect the instrument to the electric mains by means of the three pin mains plug. Switch
the instrument on by the power switch provided on the panel. The digital display of
frequency will light up on the panel. The instrument is now ready for use.
The following steps are recommended for first time operation.
1. Connect the power chord to 230 V Mains and switch on the supply on panel.
Notice indication on digital indicator on front panel.
3. Select the waveform desired by selecting the appropriate FUNCTION slide switch
on front panel for Sine, Square , Triangle, Ramp and Pulse.
By duty cycle variation Duty cycle/ Symmetry of Ramp and Pulse can be varied
after selecting Triangle and Square respectively upto 1MHz.
4. After selection of the range by means of PUSH switch on front panel, Coarse and
fine adjustment of the frequency can be done.
8. When there is a application to give DC shift (+ or -) to the output wave form then
use this control. Adjust DC Offset control to noticeshift in the base line of the
display. + 10 V DC shift is available.
10. The required attenuation upto 60 dB can be achieved through attenuation switch
and fine amplitude control which gives a 20 dB variation. In otherwords, in the
extreme ccw position we can get 0 to 20 dB variation through amplitude control.
While we can have 20 dB and 40 dB step variation by two step control provided.

11. The FM IN mode by BNC provided on the front is used to insert external AC
source as a frequency deviation source or it can sweep if AC is inserted.
BNC provided on the front, which is used to insert external signal source as a
frequency deviation source. recommended signal frequency is upto 20 KHz and
voltage level of approx. 0 to 10 V p-p
VCO Operation can also be done by inseting DC in the same BNC terminals.
External DC vary frequency of waveform.
FOR FM OPERATION
----8----
APPLICATION
1. Frequency Modulation :
If an alternating voltage with no DC component is applied to the FM in input, the preset
frequency will vary above and below the frequency that was preset by the range push
button swi tch and fine frequency setting. The DC component of such an input signal can
be removed by transformer or capacitive coupling. The output is thus frequency modu-
lated with ext signal.
2. TTL Output :
This is a fast rise time square wave output available at the front panel. Rise / Fall time is
less than 50 nano seconds. The output is always positive w . r . t. ground. This signal can
be used as an external sync. pulse for oscilloscopes when using the other generator
outputs. It can also be used as a variable frequency signal source for exercising logic
circuits.
3. Main Applications
a) Amplifier frequency response.
b) Tone control Test.
c) Amplifier performance evaluation using square waves.
d) Amplifier overload characteristics.
e) Speaker system testing.
f) Using as a bias and signal source.
g) Digital frequency selection.
h) Communication receiver alignment.
i) FM operation.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not use in any of the following locations.
a) Places where the unit is exposed to direct sunlight.
b) Places where temperature and humidity are as it will affect lower frequency
ranges.
c) Places where there are mechanical vibrations.
2. Although will start operating as soon as power is supplied. However, allow over
half an hour for the set to warm up when making an accurate measurement.
