triangular wave voltage functions The wave shape, frequency, amplitude, duty cycle, and de

offset can becasily changed. It has three voltageoutput terminals, Connect the COM terminal
to ground symbol. The +ve ternminalprovides output voltage that is positive with respect to the
COM terminal and the -ve terminal proves an output voltage that is negative with respectto
the COM terminal.
The controls on the function generator are as follows:
1. You can select awave shape by clicking the áppropriate wave shape on the top of the function
generator.
2. The frequency control allows you adjust the frequency of the output voltage up to 999 MHz.
Click up or down arrow to adjust the frequency, or click the frequency box and type the desired
frequency.
3. The AMPLITUDE control allows you to adjust the amplitude of theoutput voltage measured
from the reference level (common) to peak level. The peak to peak value is twice the amplitude
setting.
4. The OFFSET control adjusts the dc level of the voltage curve
generated by the function
generator. An offset of 0 positions the curve plot along the x-axis with an equal positive
and
negative voltage setting. A positive offset raises the curve plot above the x-axis and a
negative
offset lowers the curve plot below the x-axis.

Multimeter
A multimeter or a multitester, also known as a VOM
(Volt-Ohm meter), is an electronic measuring
instrument that combines several measurement functions in
one unit. A typical multimeter may
include features such as the ability to measure voltage,
current and resistance. Multimeters may
use analog or digital circuits--analog multimeters
(AMM) and digital multimeters (ofen
abbreviated DMM or DVOM.) Analog instruments are usually based on a microammeter whose
pointer moves over a scale calibrated for all the different measurements that can be made: digital
instruments usually display digits, but may display a bar of a length proportional to the quantity
being measured. A multimeter can be a hand-held device useful for basic fault finding and field
service work or a bench instrument which can measure to a very high degree of accuracy. They
can be uséd to troubleshoot electrical problems in a wide array of industrial and household devices
such as electronic equipment, motor controls, domestic appliances, power supplies, and wiring
systems.

Power Supply
A power supply is a device that supplies electric
power to one or more electric loads. The term is
most commonly applied to devices that convert one
form of electrical energy to another, though it
may also refer to devices that convert another
form of energy (mechanical, chemical, solar) to
electrical energy. A regulated power supply is one that
controls the output voltage or current to a
specificvalue; the controlled value is held nearly constant
despite variations in either load current or
the voltage supplied by the power supply's energy
source,
Every power supply must obtain the energy it supplies to its
load, as well as any energy it consumes
while performing that task, from an energy source
