A function generator is a crucial piece of electronic test equipment used to produce electrical waveforms, such as sine waves, square waves, and triangular waves. It is widely used in electronics testing, research laboratories, telecommunications, and industrial applications to evaluate circuit behavior and system performance.
Over time, a function generator’s output may drift due to component aging, environmental factors, and prolonged use. This drift can result in inaccurate signal generation, affecting testing precision and product quality.
