GAO Tek’s function generators have the following functions:

• Waveform Generation: GAO’s function generators generate reference test signals or waveforms, such as sine waves, square waves, triangle waves, and pulse waves, with known characteristics. These waveforms serve as the standard against which the output of the function generator under test is compared.
• Waveform Comparison: Our testers compare the generated waveforms of the function generator under test with the reference test signals. This comparison helps identify any discrepancies, inaccuracies, or distortions in the output waveforms, allowing technicians to assess the performance of the function generator.
• Parameter Measurement: Our function generators measure various parameters of the generated waveforms, such as frequency, amplitude, phase, distortion, rise/fall times, and other relevant characteristics. These measurements help determine the accuracy and precision of the function generator's output.
• Distortion Analysis: GAO Tek’s testers analyze the distortion in the output waveforms of the function generator. They can quantify parameters like harmonic distortion, total harmonic distortion (THD), and intermodulation distortion (IMD), providing insight into the quality and fidelity of the generated signals.
• Frequency Modulation and Sweep Testing: Our function generators have the capability to modulate the waveform of the function generator under test. They can assess the function generator's ability to perform amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), or phase modulation (PM).
• Accuracy and Precision Verification: GAO’s function generators verify the accuracy and precision of the function generator's output by comparing the measured parameters with the expected values. This helps determine if the function generator meets the desired specifications and standards.
• User Interface and Control: Our testers provide a user interface through which technicians can interact with the device. The interface allows users to configure test settings, select waveforms, view measurements, and access additional functions and modes.
• Automation and Integration: Our function generators offer automation and integration capabilities, allowing for remote control, data logging, and integration with other test systems or software. This streamlines the testing process and enables efficient and automated testing workflows.
