In addition to oscilloscopes, educational EE circuits or physics
labs typically include a variety of test equipment. This equipment
may include power supplies, digital multimeters, and function
generators, which are used as a dynamic input source for
assigned experiments. Another option available on Keysight’s
InfiniiVision X-Series scopes is the WaveGen built-in 20-MHz
function/arbitrary waveform generator. Not only does the built-in
function generator save valuable bench space in labs, it can also
help stretch the limited test equipment budgets of electrical
engineering and physics departments.
It should be noted that signals generated by WaveGen are
different from the oscilloscope training signals that are provided
with the DSOXEDK Educator’s Training Kit. The WaveGen provides
general-purpose 20-MHz function generator capabilities with
user-definable frequencies, amplitudes, offset, and pulse widths.
The WaveGen’s output is routed to a BNC on the front panel
of the scope below the display. The WaveGen can produce the
following wave shapes:
– Sine wave
– Square wave (with variable duty cycle)
– Ramp
– Pulse (with variable pulse width)
– DC
– Noise
– Arbitrary
– Modulation
Output levels can range from 20 mVp-p up to 5.0 Vp-p when
terminated into high impedance, or 10 mVp-p to 2.5 Vp-p- when
terminated into 50-Ω. Note that dual WaveGen option on the
4000 and 6000 X-Series models has twice the output drive
capability.

built-in stimulus source for student experiments.
University Courseware from
DreamCatcher
Learning how to use an oscilloscope is just the first step in
the electrical engineering lab curriculum. Depending upon the
specific EE courses, the core content of lab assignments will
probably be focused on a variety of analog and digital circuit
design experiments. For ready-to-use EE lecturer slide-set and
application-specific student training kit resources, Keysight
recommends considering courseware from DreamCatcher
