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

What are the uses of a function generator?

A function generator is a piece of electronic test equipment. Its main use is to generate electrical waveforms.


Difference between function generator and signal generator?

A signal generator provides a high-fidelity sine wave signal ranging from low frequencies to many GHz. Attenuation, modulation, and sweeping are typical features of a signal generator.A function generator is a lower-frequency instrument that typically provides sine, square, pulse, triangle and ramp waveforms. Function generators provide these standard functions from DC to a few MHz, and provide large voltage ranges.
