INTRODUCTION
TheMODELFG-272Sweep/FunctionGeneratorprovides
functionsofa functiongenerator,pulsegenerator,and
sweeposcillator.
FEATURES
1. Wide-banddesign: sevenrangescover full oscillation
frequency from 0.2Hzto2 MHz
2. Selectable output ofsinewaves,squarewaves,and
triangl waves through one-touchoperation.
3.TTLsquarewave output connectorfacilitatesusing
