Function Generator MODEL FG-500 Instruction Manual ELENCO® Copyright © 2012, 2003 Elenco® Electronics, Inc.
SPECIFICATIONS OUTPUT: • Waveforms: Sine, triangle, square • Impedance: 600Ω ±10% • Frequency: 1Hz - 1MHz in 6 decade steps with variable ranges. SINE WAVE: • Amplitude: 0 - 3Vpp • Distortion: Less than 1% (at 1kHz) • Flatness: ±0.
INTRODUCTION Your FG-500 Function Generator contains a complete function generator capable of producing sine, square and triangle wave forms. The frequency of this generator can be continuously varied from 1Hz to 1MHz in 6 steps. A fine frequency control makes selection of any frequency in between easy. The amplitude of the sine and triangle waveforms are adjustable from 0 to 3Vpp. This complete function generator system is suitable for experimentation and applications by the student.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The FG-500 is a function generator integrated circuit capable of producing high quality sine, triangle, and square waves of high stability and accuracy.
CONTROLS RANGE SWITCHES Six ranges of frequency are provided by the range switch as shown in Table 1. POSITION TYPICAL FREQUENCY RANGE 1 2 3 4 5 6 1Hz - 15Hz 10Hz - 150Hz 100Hz - 1.5kHz 1kHz - 15kHz 10kHz - 150kHz 100kHz - 1MHz Table 1 SINE/TRIANGLE SWITCH This SINE/TRIANGLE Switch selects the waveform, sine wave or triangle wave, sent to the SINE/TRIANGLE output terminal. FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER The multiplier is a variable control allowing frequency settings between fixed ranges.
