Overview

Choice of Capabilities
The MODEL 315 is a 10MHz generator, which combines sine, triangle, square and DC capabilities in one small unit. All these waveforms are available over a very broad frequency and amplitude range with a choice of sweep and modulation modes. Any waveform can be continuous or triggered with an external or manual trigger.
Variable symmetry from 10% to 90% offers the possibility to generate ramps and pulse waveforms.

Easy Operation
The MODEL 315 has been designed to provide a wide range of capabilities with an easy way to operate them. The unit uses a small and compact metal enclo- sure, the best choice for any application.

LCD Dual Display
The MODEL 315 simultaneously display of frequency and amplitude (or offset) allows precise setting of unit parameters. The separate amplitude and offset controls allow you to superimpose a DC component on the AC output waveform. The output level can be continuously adjusted over a 20dB range and attenu- ated by 20dB or 40dB fixed attenuators.

Sweep Capabilities
The Linear or Log sweep modes can be internally or externally controlled. Sweep start and stop frequencies are independently adjustable.

Modulation
The output waveform can be amplitude or frequency modulated by an internal (1KHz) or external signal.

Frequency Counter
A built-in digital counter that display the instrument frequency allows precise settings. This 6 digits autoranging counter can be used to measure external signals.

Performance and reliability
The MODEL 315 high performance has been achieved by using advanced LSI and logic circuits. Using quality components far away from maximum ratings, minimizing the component count and using special protection circuits for the output amplifier stage are the main reasons for the instrument increased reliability.
