The Function Generators are versatile signal sources which combine several functions into one unit — waveform generation, pulse generation (through variable symmetry), and frequency sweep. Models 4040A, 4012A and 4017A are Sweep/Function generators. The sweep function offers linear or log sweep with variable sweep rates and widths. Additionally the instruments provide the added convenience of a built-in frequency counter. This permits more accurate determination of output frequency than is possible with a simple calibrated dial. Coarse and fine tuning controls permit precision setability of the output frequency.
The heart of the function generator is a VCG (voltage-controlled generator) that produces precision sine, square or triangle waves. This encompasses sub-audible, audio, ultrasonic and RF applications. A continuously variable DC offset allows the output to be injected directly into circuits at the correct bias level.
