In this video, we take a complete, hands-on look at using a digital function generator, with live waveform display on an oscilloscope — starting with simple sine wave generation and progressing to advanced settings and even AM modulation.
🔹 What you'll learn in this video:
✅ Introduction to the two independent output channels and how to enable/disable each
✅ Selecting different waveform types: sine, square, triangle, pulse, sawtooth, and noise
✅ Precisely setting the frequency (Hz) using the dial and digit-shift keys
✅ Setting the amplitude (peak-to-peak) and comparing the set value with the actual value shown on the oscilloscope
✅ Adding a DC offset to the waveform and observing the shift on the display
✅ Adjusting the duty cycle for pulse waveforms
✅ Correctly connecting a BNC cable and alligator-clip probes to an oscilloscope to observe the waveform live
✅ Generating and viewing two waveforms simultaneously on Channel 1 and Channel 2 with different frequency and amplitude settings
✅ A complete walkthrough of Amplitude Modulation (AM): selecting the carrier signal, setting the modulation frequency and modulation index (M), and watching the result live on the oscilloscope
This video is perfect for electrical and electronics engineering students and anyone interested in hands-on lab work, communications, and measurement tools — it teaches exactly the skills you need to use a function generator in any lab setting.
