Hi, I have a function generator, a basic one that is kind of my work horse, its always the the one I use with new experiments first, mainly because its the cheapest and oldest I have, so I dont have to panic about blowing up dads £1,500 HP one
.
its been really good but lately I have noticed a problem. Mainly on sign wave it has gone from a really nice smooth waveform, to a stepped one, its still sign shaped but i can see ladder steps in it, they are getting more pronounced and clearer to see.
Am I right in thinking its probably a smoothing cap? I cant get a pic of it for a day or so. I would like to get it back in fighting order tho, as dad sweats every time I reach for the HP
