The function generator is used to generate signals for testing circuits. This tutorial describes how

to set up the function generator for basic signals such as sine, triangle, or square waves.

Getting Started

Turn the Power button on. Make sure that the Duty, CMOS, Offset knob and AMPL knobs are

all pushed in. On the GFG-8219A, also make sure that the Frequency knob is pushed in.

Connect a coax cable to the BNC connector labeled Output.

Page 2 (unlike the DMM, the number on the function generator display does NOT need to be multiplied by the range). Figure 2: Frequency Knob and Frequency Range Buttons University of Portland - p. 2 of 3 - Function Generator - GFG-8219A.docx...
Page 3 The Offset knob controls the D.C. offset of the signal, but only if it is pulled out (Figure 4). If the knob is pushed in, the offset is zero regardless of how the knob is turned. Figure 4: Offset Knob University of Portland - p. 3 of 3 - Function Generator - GFG-8219A.docx...
