Sine Wave Generator

Sine Wave Generator

The Sine Wave Generator is excellent for generating Sine waves with frequency (1-800 Hz) and amplitude of the sine wave to be varied (12Vp-p). Students can observe the quantum nature of standing wave patterns as the Sine Wave Generator jumps from one resonant frequency to the next. Both fine and coarse frequency controls are included, as well as a digital display featuring a 0.1 Hz resolution. Also, the generator, features built-in memory that allows it to “learn” new fundamental frequencies for further exploration.

The generator can be used with:

Oscilloscope

Frequency Wave Demonstrator

Technical Specifications:

Waveform: Sine wave

Frequency: 1Hz to 800Hz with 0.1Hz resolution.

Amplitude: 12Vp-p (no load)

4 digit display

Adjust the frequency of the output using the Fine (0.1 Hz) or Coarse (1.0 Hz) knobs

Smart Scan feature enables knobs to change frequency more quickly when continuously turned

The Generator can store a frequency increment and will cycle through the frequency range using the established increment for personalized convenience

2x socket 4mm for  Banana Plugs (not included).

Dimensions: 165mm x 120mm x 40mm

How It Works

1. Connect a device, such as a speaker or electromechanical vibrator or a oscillator, to the output sockets of the Sine Wave Generator using a pair of 4.0 mm banana plugs.
2. Adjust the amplitude of the output signal with the Amplitude knob.
3. Set the output frequency using the Coarse and Fine Frequency knobs. The Coarse knob changes the frequency by 1.0 Hz, while a quick turn changes it by 4.0 Hz. The Fine knob changes the frequency by 0.1 Hz. The Up and Down Increment keys change the frequency by a default value of 100 Hz, but this value can be changed.
