A. Using the square wave generator or pulse generator modes, clock pulses 

can be generated for testing, troubleshooting or circuit analysis. The 

instrument could even be used as a substitute master clock generator as 

TTL/CMOS circuits can be driven from the TTL/CMOS BNC. 

B. The CMOS Level Control potentiometer (pull out position) provides CMOS 

level output from 5V to 15V Variable and Continuously.  For TTL/CMOS 

output level, Rotate the potentiometer switch and Observe the TTL or CMOS 

output : Push-in is TTL, Pull-out is CMOS. 

 

3-5-2. TTL/SYNC OUTPUT(FG-8105/FG-8110 only) 

    TTL/SYNC output is specifically designed for compatibility with TTL SYNC digital 

logic  circuits.  Set-up  time  is  considerably  reduced  because  the  fixed  logic  levels 

and polarity are ready for direct injection into TTL SYNC circuits. there is a need for  

protection from accidental Application of too high amplitude  or  incorrect  DC  offset 

which might damage semiconductors. Another advantage is the extremely fast rise 

time  and  fall  time  of  signal.  To  use  the  TTL  SYNC  output,  connect  a  cable  from 

TTL SYNC BNC on the Front panel to the point at which it is desired to inject the 

signal.  TTL  SYNC  output  may  be  used  in  several  modes  of  operation.  Some 

examples follow. 

 

A. Using  the  square  wave  generator  or  pulse  generator  modes,  clock  pulses     

can  be  generated  for  testing,  troubleshooting  or  circuit  analysis.  The     

instrument  could  even  be  used  as  a  substitute  master  clock  generator  as      

TTL SYNC circuits can be driven from the TTL SYNC BNC. 

 

3-6. Use As FM Signal Generator 

1) Procedure 

 

A. Set up equipment as described for function generator operation. Use the 

frequency and  amplitude controls to set the carrier to the desired frequency 

and amplitude.   

 

B. Connect an AC modulating signal with no DC component to the VCF IN BNC 

on  the front panel of generator. 

 

C. Adjust amplitude of the AC modulating signal for the desired frequency 

deviation.
