It is a easy to use, compact 0.2Hz to 200KHz Function Generator. This manual contains information pertaining to the specifications, installation and operation of 200KHz Function Generator Model 2001A. 1.2 APPLICATIONS The function generator can be used to test the frequency response of low frequency amplifiers, attenuators, filters, etc besides being a source of the most commonly used waveforms. TTL output is provided to synchronise other circuitry or for direct use with logic circuits. SWEEP IN terminal can be used to sweep the output frequency using external voltage. 1.3 SPECIFICATIONS FUNCTION GENERATOR Waveform : Sine, Triangle, Square.

Function Out : 1mV to 10V p-p (with 4 selectable ranges; into open circuit). TTL Out : Standard TTL level squarewave. Rise/Fall Time : <25ns. DC Offset : ±5V DC into open circuit. AC (signal) + DC (offset) = ±10V p-p open circuit ±5V p-p into 600 ohms. Level Fine : 20dB variable (approx.). 1

4 Level Ranges : 1mV - 10mV p-p, 10mV - 100mV p-p, 100mV - 1V p-p & 1V p-p - 10V p-p. Sine wave Distortion : <2% upto 100KHz (<1% typical) <3% above 100KHz. Squarewave : Time symmetry : ±1.5% (typical <1%) Rise/Fall Time : <100ns (into 600 ohms +20pf). Triangle Linearity : Better than 1%. Sweep Input : 0 to +10V DC. Sweep Range : 100:1 approx. (For external input at SWEEP IN). Input Impedance : 30K ohms approx. GENERAL Power : 115 / 230V AC ±10%,47-63Hz. Consumption : 5VA. Dimensions (mm) : 245 (W) x 76 (H) x 185 (D) mm (approx.). 9½ x 3 x 7¼ Weight : 2 Kg. / 4.5 lbs (approx.). 1.4 ACCESSORIES 1. BNC to BNC Operation Manual Power Cord - 1 Section 2 Installation 2.1 INSPECTION The instrument is packed in a corrugated sheet box. As soon as the unit is received, carefully open the box and inspect it for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Save all packing material. If any damage is found, notify the carriers and our authorised representatives or ourselves immediately. Also check whether all the specified accessories are present. 2.2 POWER REQUIREMENTS The instrument operates over a nominal 115V ±10%, 60Hz or 230V AC ±10% 50Hz AC line. A power cord has been provided to connect the instrument to proper source. 2.3 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS Prior to applying power to the instrument, ensure that earth is extended to the mains socket. Intentional interruption of the grounding system, by use of two-wire plug adapters or two wire extension cords must be considered an unsafe practice Be sure that only correct fuse with proper V & A ratings is installed for replacement purposes. INCORRECT FUSE RATING CAN RESULT IN FIRE &/OR SERIOUS DAMAGE OR HARM TO HUMAN LIFE & PROPERTY. 2 3

5 Section 3 Operation 3.1 FRONT PANEL CONTROLS The front panel controls are functionally grouped and clearly designated for ease of operation. Their functions are described below : 1. FREQUENCY DIAL This is frequency setting with a calibrated dial. The output frequency is multiplication of the reading on dial and FREQ. MULT (Frequency multiplier) setting. 2. FREQ. MULT. SWITCH This switch selects the desired frequency range of the function generator, in decades. 3. FUNCTION SWITCH Selects Sine, Triangle or Square wave output of the Function Generator. The TTL output is not affected by this switch position. 4. LEVEL RANGE This is 4 position output attenuator switch. The ranges from 1mV - 10mV, 10mV - 100mV, 100mV - 1V & 1V - 10V p-p can be selected. 5. OUTPUT CONNECTOR This is a BNC connector for the function output. 6. LEVEL FINE This is a continuously variable level control with approx. 20dB range. 7. DC OFFSET Zero when feature not selected, ±5V DC into open circuit when selected. 8. TTL OUT CONNECTOR Square wave output (TTL) is available at this connector. The TTL signal is in phase with function output. 9. SWEEP IN DC voltage input to control function generator frequency (VCG). Input voltage should be with range of 0 to ±10V DC. 10. POWER ON LED This LED indicate that power is on. 3.2 REAR PANEL CONTROLS 1. POWER ON/OFF SWITCH The Function Generator can be turned ON/OFF by this rear panel switch. 2. FUSE This is a fuse in series with mains supply (for 230V - 100mA & for 115V - 250mA).

6 3. MAINS SELECTOR This switch select the mains input as either 115V or 230V. Factory set to 115V. 4. MAINS IN This is the AC mains input to the Function Generator. Power input required is 115V ±10%, 60Hz or 230V ±10%, 50Hz. 5. EARTH TERMINAL This terminal for connection of external earth to the instrument. Note : 1) To get full sweep range from DC voltage input applied at SWEEP IN terminal ensure frequency dial at minimum position for 0 to +10V input and keep frequency dial at maximum position for 0 to -10V input. A bipolar ac signal will produce a sweep up & down from the set frequency. 2) Total sweep range is function of frequency dial position and input voltage at SWEEP IN terminal. 3) Frequency dial sweep range is 10:1 while frequency sweep range of 100:1 is possible by means of external sweep input 0 to ±10V as per specification given above. 3.3 PRECAUTIONS To obtain the optimum performance of the 2001A, the following procedure should be adopted. 1. Select a location free from dust and humidity. 2. Do not operate the instrument where mechanical vibrations are excessive or near a instrument which generates strong electric or magnetic fields. 3. Although the output is short circuit protected, DO NOT intentionally short the output. 3.4 OPERATING PROCEDURE After power ON, set RANGE switch to desired frequency range. The frequency can be set by using the frequency dial. The function switch selects the desired waveform. The generator output level is set by LEVEL FINE control and LEVEL RANGE. The RANGE control directly indicates the output level in p-p. The variable LEVEL FINE control has a range of approximate 20dB. The TTL output is available at all times in phase with the Function generator output. This can be used for various applications like trigerring an oscilloscope sweep or as a independent output to measure the frequency more accurately on a Frequency counter or directly interfacing to digital circuits. 6 7

7 Section 4 Maintenance Section 5 Circuit Diagrams 4.1 MAINTENANCE The instrument has a rugged mechanical construction and will withstand normal handling and wear easily.
