I know there's a few electronics guys here, and I'm looking for a Function Generator to add to my electronics work bench. I have a post in the classifieds forum for that specifically.
For anyone that has experience with function generators, what do you, or have you used, and what do you look for in one?
I have found a Velleman unit locally, that is a portable unit. I would prefer a bench top model, but at $109 this might be a good investment to even use as a portable unit for field diagnostics, I'm just not sure of the quality. I do have a Velleman PC Oscilloscope that seems to work fine, though I haven't used it much, so I'm not really afraid of the unit breaking down, just accuracy. If I get it I plan to take it to school and test it against the Function Generators we have there. http://www.vellemanusa.com/products/view/?id=525983
There is also this Velleman model, that would match my O-scope, but I already have the O-scope as PC required. I'm not sure I want to have both connected to the PC in that sense. http://www.vellemanusa.com/products/view/?id=523616
I'm looking to keep this as cheap as possible right now, since I am in school and need to save up for next year's tuition, and everything else that goes along with school. So give me your ideas.
