I have a signal generator, it's a Digimess FG200. Now it has an "External input counter 0.2Hz - 2MHz", does this mean I can use it as an oscilloscope to report the frequency of a circuit?
A oscilloscope uses a CRT/TFT to display the waveforms based on a time base. Eventually a oscilloscope has a frequency counter. But you cannot use your signal generator's frequency counter to act like an oscilloscope, it will act just as a... Frequency counter.
Ah yes. That makes sense. I actually only need a frequency counter. The shape of the waveforms isn't something I need to be concerned with. Thanks to you both!
