Hameg HM8030-6
Function Generator

The HM8030-6 Function Generator is a versatile signal source useful for many stimulus and test applications. The key features are the high signal purity and constant amplitude flatness throughout the entire frequency range. This instrument is ideal for a broad range of test bench use including precision audio measurements.

The generator produces 3 basic waveforms: sine, square and triangle. The output frequency can be swept internally and externally over a 100:1 frequency range. This is ideal for examining transmission curves of a circuit under test using an oscilloscope as a measurement indicator. The square wave output has a very fast, < 15ns, rise and fall time.

All outputs are electrically protected against short circuits and accidentally applied voltages of up to ±45V. This is a very useful feature, particularly in educational applications.

Frequencies are indicated on a 4-digit LED display, making accurate and precise frequency setting possible with a maximum resolution of 0.1mHz (0.0001Hz) in the 0.5Hz range. The measurement time is a constant quarter second over the entire frequency range. Frequency setup is performed by adjusting a rotary dial for value adjustment and actuating an up/down pushbutton for setting the proper frequency decade. Both DC offset and output amplitude are adjustable with rotary controls and there are two additional 20dB attenuators available for further output signal reduction.

A TTL-level output trigger signal is provided to facilitate stable oscilloscope displays of all types of generated waveforms. The HM8030-6 Function Generator offers precision and multifunctionality with the flexibility of the HM8000 Series Modular System.
