Function Generator

FRE250350

Sturdy, universal, advanced – but easy to use. The tone generator for any experiment with vibrations, sound and alternating currents. Reaches from slower-than-slow all the way up to 10 MHz.
Developed for education

Our team of developers includes experienced physics teachers who ensures that technical perfection goes hand in hand with practicability. The function generator is ideal for standing waves experiments – but tackles without problems any task a functions generator can be expected to handle. Want to check out electronic filters at 5 - 10 MHz? Or do you need a voltage that grows linearly from 0 to 10 V in 500 seconds? No problem for 250350.
Unique control of the frequency

The frequency is set using a speed-sensitive button. Its characteristics have been tuned through the work with practical experiments, using a range of normal physics equipment. You turn it slowly to set the least significant digits on the display. If you turn it faster, the response accelerates smoothly. The generator spans the ten decades from 0.001 Hz to 10.00 MHz in one range. The frequency is stable within 0.005 %
Step

In many applications you want to study a physical system at a fundamental frequency as well as at multiples of this frequency. The special step function makes this a breeze.
Sweep

The frequency can be made to sweep an area, to detect any resonances. You can select the frequency range and the sweep speed. You have a choice of linear sweep (a fixed number of Hz per second) or a logarithmic sweep (a fixed number of octaves per time).
Drives connected loudspeaker, vibrator, etc. directly

The built-in 10 W power amplifier drives effortless current-hungry equipment like a vibrator. The amplifier can supply more than 1 A at all frequencies between 0.001 Hz and 100 kHz. It is permanently connected to the generator part with no switches or external cables to make things complicated
Advanced functions

The generator can be connected to your PC as a USB memory stick (using a standard USB cable).

Waveforms: Seven built-in waveforms not enough? Simply define your own waveform, using for instance a spreadsheet
Are you using the same sequence of settings again and again? Program the generator to do it for you.
Want to specify the frequency more precisely than the display allows? Set the frequency programmatically with 0.001 Hz resolution.
