The Fluke 80 Function Generator is a signal generation instrument engineered for electronic testing, calibration, and simulation across benchtop and automated test equipment (ATE) environments. It generates standard waveforms—sine, square, triangle, positive pulse, and negative pulse—with independently adjustable frequency, amplitude, and DC offset. Advanced modulation and sweep capabilities, including AM/FM modulation and linear/logarithmic sweep functions, enable complex signal simulation and device characterization in laboratory and industrial settings.
