Generator
Sweep function generator
with built-in frequency counter
This function generator provide a substan-
tial array of output capabilities. It’s
extremely reliable for heavy day-to-day
usage in electronic troubleshooting, pro-
duction manufacturing test or as a bread-
boarding signal source.
The FG3C Sweep/function generator
pr
ovides sine, square, triangle waves and TL
and CMOS pulse outputs fr
om 0.3 to 3 MHz.
A built-in frequency counter with 6 digit dis-
play accurately shows frequency setting. Or
use as stand-alone frequency counter for
external signals from 5 to 150 MHz. Control
the linear or logarithmic sweep of any of the
selected signal outputs internally or with
user provided external modulating signal.
Produce TTL or CMOS pulses with the duty
cycle function. Switchable 20dB attenuator
allows for low level signal output.
• Square, Triangle, Sine waves, TTL and
CMOS pulse outputs
• 0.3 Hz to 3 MHz range
• Linear or logarithmic sweep
• Amplitude or frequency modulation
• Built-in 150 MHz frequency counter
with 6 digit LED display
• Voltage controlled frequency (VCF)
input
• Two switchable 20 dB attenuators
• Signal polarity invert button
• Variable duty-cycle
• Variable dc V offset
• Includes line cords and fuses for either
117 V or 220 V operation
