The Fluke/Wavetek 116 is a multi-purpose voltage controlled generator engineered for electronic testing and calibration across diverse applications. It delivers triggered, gated, and phase-lock operation modes, plus an internal cycle counter enabling tone burst generation without external gating. The instrument generates sine, square, triangle, and ramp waveforms across a 0.005 Hz to 1 MHz frequency range.
