Three models meeting a variety of needs

The TG210 offers all of the basic generator functions including sine, square & triangle waveforms, variable DC offset, variable symmetry and external sweep input.

The TG215 adds a digital display of frequency, amplitude and offset for greater precision and convenience.

The TG230 has all the features of the TG215 plus an internal sweep generator with linear or log sweep, variable sweep rate and a sweep output socket. It also offers internal or external amplitude modulation.
Exceptional waveform quality
The TG200 series provides very high waveform quality under all conditions. That means low sinewave distortion, low aberation triangle waves and fast-edged square waves with low overshoot.
Unlike many competitive products good waveform quality is maintained throughout the frequency range, and at low output levels.
All models have bi-directional variable symmetry at constant frequency from 1:9 to 9:1. 		Digital display for precision and convenience
The TG215 and TG230 have the convenience of a digital display. Unlike competitive products the display provides a readout not just of frequency, but of amplitude and offset as well.

Wide range level control
The main output has a maximum emf of 20V pk-pk from a 50Ohm or 600Ohm source. An amplitude vernier with a range of 40dB is combined with a -20dB switched attenuator to provide levels down to 20mV pk-pk. Variable DC offset of +/-10V is available via a centre detent control.
An auxiliary output provides a fixed 0V to +5V level suitable for driving both TTL and CMOS loads.

Wide sweep range
Each range can be swept by at least 1000:1 either manually or via the sweep control input. The TG230 incorporates a versatile internal sweep generator capable of providing linear or logarithmic frequency sweeps.
The TG230 provides further versatility by adding AM facilities. The modulation can be external or internal (via a 400Hz internal generator) with modulation levels fully variable between 0% and 100%.
