Getting Started
The Tektronix CFG253 Function Generator produces sine, square,
and sawtooth waves and TTL signals in a frequency range of 0.03 Hz
to 3 MHz. You can use it to test and calibrate audio and ultrasonic
equipment and servo systems. You can also directly control
amplitude and DC offset.
The function generator has a symmetry function to control the rise
and fall times of sine or sawtooth waves and the duty cycles of
square waves. It also has a sweep function that makes the output
signal traverse a range of frequencies. The sweep rate and sweep
width can be controlled internally or the sweep function can be input
from an external DC signal.
The function generator has a locking, multiposition handle that folds
under the instrument. The instrument is delivered with a power cord,
an installed fuse for 115 V operation, and this instruction manual.
