FG5010 Tektronix Function Generator

The FG5010 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: 2.0 mHz-20 MHz

            ◎ Waveform Outputs: Sine, Square, Triangle, Ramp  

            ◎ Modulation: AM, FM, Burst, Gated, Trigger  

The Tektronix FG5010 is a 20 MHz function generator plug-in for the TM5000 system. Available waveforms include sine, square, triangle, pulse, and ramp with 10 ns rise/fall time. Features 10 to 90% variable symmetry in 1% steps.  It also provides trigger, gate, counted burst, AM, FM, and VCF modes. This unit is easy to use via the front panel or programmed via the IEEE-488 interface.

The unit covers the frequency range from 0.002 Hz to 20 MHz while offering an output to 20 Vp-p from 50-ohms.
