The FG100 function generator features an external
sweep function with a power amplifier for use in stu-
dent and practical experiments on simple harmonic
oscillation, alternating current and induction.
The equipment outputs sine-wave, triangular wave
and square wave voltages with adjustable amplitude
and frequency. The built-in power amplifier allows it
to handle currents of up to 1 A.
Operating modes for sweep mode:
External mode: the sweep is proportional to the set fre-
quencies and depends directly on an external control
voltage of between 0 and 5 V. This allows for frequency
modulation using modulation frequencies of up to 200
Hz.
Internal/Continuous: At the start and whenever the
voltage passes through zero a 5-V pulse is output
from the TRIG OUT socket. A voltage of 0 - 5 V di-
rectly proportional to the sweep voltage is output
from the Control Voltage socket.
Internal/Single: At the start a 5-V pulse is output from
the TRIG OUT socket. The sweep can also be initi-
ated by a 5-V pulse to the TRIG IN socket. A voltage
of 0 - 5 V directly proportional to the sweep voltage
is output from the Control Voltage socket. The sweep
stops after one run-through and continues at the
starting frequency until another start pulse is input
(using the buttons or the trigger).
The most recently used sweep-mode settings will be
stored in the function generator for the next time it is
switched on.
The output is protected against shorts circuits, induc-
tive voltages and spark discharges.
The device is equipped with fold-away feet.
Power is provided via a 12-V AC plug-in power sup-
ply.
The FG100 function generator with order number
1009956 is intended for a mains voltage of 115 V
(±10%), whereas the one numbered 1009957 is for
230 V (±10%).
