Tektronix, Inc. Function Generator FG503

The FG503 is a Function Generator from Tektronix. A function generator is a type of signal generator people use to generate many kinds of electrical waveforms over a range of frequencies. A function generator is a type of electronic test equipment that produces sine, triangular, square, and sawtooth shape waveforms. The user can make these waveforms single-shot, using a trigger source, or repetitive, based on use. This kind of signal generator uses integrated circuits to create waveforms. Function generators cover both RF and Microwave frequencies. Additional Features: Frequency Range: 1.0 Hz-3.0 MHz Waveform Outputs: Sine, Square, Triangle Up to 20 Vp-p output Up to +-7.5 V offset VCF The Tektronix FG503 is a 3 MHz function generator plug-in for the TM500 system.The FG503 has six decade frequency multiplier steps, a custom position for user-determined frequency multiplication, a dial calibrated from 1.0 to 30 (uncalibrated from 0.1 to 1.0), The Frequency vernier control working together to select frequencies in overlapping ranges from 1 Hz to 3 MHz. The output frequency can be swept over a 1000:1 ratio by an external voltage.
