Function generator

A function generator is usually a piece of electronic test equipment or software used to generate different types of electrical waveforms over a wide range of frequencies. Some of the most common waveforms produced by the function generator are the sine wave , square wave, triangular wave and sawtooth shapes. These waveforms can be either repetitive or single-shot (which requires an internal or external trigger source). Integrated circuits used to generate waveforms may also be described as function generator ICs.Four-bar function generator of the function Log(u) for 1 < u < 10.Rocker-slider function generator of the function Log(u) for 1 < u < 10.Slider-rocker function generator of the function Tan(u) for 0 < u < 45°.
