Function Generator PI-8127 Pasco ScientificOverviewThe Function Generator outputs sine, square, triangle, positive and negative ramps with a frequency range of 0.001 Hz to 150 kHz in addition to DC. ( A replacement for the PI-9587C )Its powerful output, 1 Amp at ±10 Volts, makes it useful for driving speakers, string vibrators, and circuits.FeaturesLCD ReadoutThe LCD displays frequency, voltage, current, waveform, and menus. For viewing demonstrations, there is a Large Digits Mode for increased readability of the frequency.The backlight has two levels, low and high, selectable using the menu. The low backlight isusefulin dark rooms.Frequency/Range SelectionThere are two ranges, 0.001 to 100 Hzand 0.001 to 100 kHz, selected using the range push-button switch ( integrated with frequency knob ).Output StandbyPushing the standby button disables the output without changing settings.Output Current/Voltage MaximumThe maximum current or maximum voltage can be set using the menu. This is useful when the instructor needs to limit the voltage applied in a light bulb.Offset VoltageAny waveform may be offset with a DC voltage ranging from -10 V to +10 V, provided the peak voltage does not exceed 10 V.Frequency SweepSweep between any two frequencies at a selectable rate.Available WaveformsSineTriangleSquarePositive RampNegative RampDCSpecificationsInput Power Source15 V @ 1.6 amp AC/DC AdapterVoltage Output± 10 V @ 1 A, 5 mV Adjustment ResolutionFrequency RangeDC to 150 kHz with two ranges: 0.001 Hz to 999.999 Hz 0.001 kHz to 100 kHz ( 150 kHz for Sine Wave )Frequency Resolution0.001 Hz for the 0.001 to 100 Hz range;1 Hz for the 0.001 kHz to 100 kHz range.Maximum Current/VoltageProgrammableOffset Voltage± 10 V, 5 mV ResolutionWaveformsSine, Triangle, Square, Positive Ramp, Negative Ramp, DCExternal Voltage InputUse the function generator to amplify an external source ( ± 10 V maximum )Trigger OutputTTL Compatible; BNC jack on back of unitDisplayLCD Graphics Monochrome Display, 128 x 64, with Two-Level BacklightDisplaysFrequency, Waveform, Voltage, Current, Root mean Square ( RMS ) Current, Offset Voltage, Maximum Current/Voltage ( Not all simultaneously )Special Display ModeLarge digits for frequencyAmplitude ModulationModulate the signal of one function generator using anotherFrequency SweepGenerate a signalto sweep through start/end frequency, select sweep time, and auto-repeat the sweepProgrammable Current LimitSet the maximum current to limit the current outputUSB Connection for software updatesDownload latest software from pasco.com and install throughthe USB connectionPower Amplifier
