A function generator is an electronic test equipment that produces various types of waveforms, such as sine, square, and triangular waves, at specific frequencies and amplitudes. It is commonly used in laboratories and for testing electronic circuits. An oscilloscope, on the other hand, is a device that visualizes electrical signals by displaying their voltage over time on a screen, allowing users to observe waveform characteristics such as frequency, amplitude, and distortion. Together, these tools are essential for analyzing and troubleshooting electronic systems.
with the help of function generator we found wave in oscilloscope
When the voltage level from the function generator is increased, the waveform displayed on the oscilloscope will rise in amplitude, appearing taller on the vertical axis. The shape of the waveform remains the same, whether it's a sine, square, or triangle wave, but the peaks and troughs will be more pronounced. Additionally, if the vertical scale on the oscilloscope is not adjusted, the waveform may clip if the voltage exceeds the oscilloscope's maximum input range.

You first use the schematic diagram in the equipment service manual to understand the flow of the power and signals in the generator. The first thing to check is all of the power supply voltages. If one is missing, the generator can fail in such a way as to produce no output. Then you can use an oscilloscope to trace the problem backwards, from the output connector of the generator to to the source of the signal generation.
There are a few options if you are looking for a good function generator. The Agilent 33220A and the Tek AFG3000 have both received excellent reviews and can be purchased online.

Oscilloscope is used to display electrical signals on a display. A dual trace oscilloscope can display two signals simultaneously. For a trace generator I think you mean a signal or a function generator which generates electrical waveforms of varying shapes, frequency and amplitude. A dual trace or a function generator in that sense is an equipment capable of generating two independent waveforms at the same time. - Neeraj
first we connect the oscilloscope with the function generator or whatever the source of the input voltage , there will be a wave ,we try to adjust its amplitude using oscilloscope ..and this amplitude will be the peak to peak voltage..putting into consideration how volt/ div while measuring the amplitude
After powering on the function generator, the output signal needs to be configured to the desired shape. Typically, this means connecting the signal and ground leads to an oscilloscope to check the controls. Adjust the function generator until the output signal is correct, then attach the signal and ground leads from the function generator to the input and ground of the device under test. For some applications, the negative lead of the function generator should attach to a negative input of the device, but usually attaching to ground is sufficient
this generator operates using logical function thats why is called as logic function generator
To the untrained eye, they appear identical in both form and function.
digital generator nothing but square wave generator or astable multivibrator
A function generator creates electrical waveforms. The purpose is for developing and testing electric equipment.
A function generator is a piece of electronic test equipment. Its main use is to generate electrical waveforms.

A signal generator generates either audio or RF frequencies (depending on the capabilities and designed purpose of the generator) for testing other electronics equipment. Makes it easier to make tests on a device without having to have it "in circuit". It's a lot easier to test a piece of equipment on a work bench rather than trying to test it in place.A function generator supplies TTL (transistor to transistor) square wave pulses, sine and sawtooth wave forms for various testing purposes. It's a lot easier to work on something on the work bench and being able to remove a circuit board and just supply power and a signal saves having to take a whole piece of equipment into the shop. Then again, you also can use an oscilloscope for troubleshooting when you jave a good, known signal to work with. That applies to both types of generators.A: A function generator is just like a signal generator except it generates a function like a ladder step or unusual increases or decreases in voltage to generate a required function
