The traditional function generators typically use integrating circuitry and constant current circuit techniques that are easily affected by operation temperature or the quality of resistor or capacitor and other key components that occur to make for poor frequency accuracy. The innovative design of the GFG-3015 helps to get rid of these problems.
The frequency feedback system needs a compatible, powerful frequency counter. GW has designed his own full-function counter chip, GFC-9701, for this system with high frequency test range and full functions, including Period Test, Duty Test, Ratio Test, Time Interval, Pulse Wide, Direct Display and Direct Connect with THE CPU system. The GFG-3015 uses this chip to read output frequency value at any time. Then CPU will modify the correct value of D/A converter immediately according to this value, so that the user can get a high accuracy frequency from the GFG-3015 Function Generator. Also, the GFG-3015 can generate a high accuracy frequency to provide a high frequency resolution.
Except the different design from the typical circuitry, the GFG-3015 system also has a micro controller (CPU unit) equipped with additional RS-232 interface functions which can be used on any test system, with other instruments, or be controlled by a computer.
The Instek GFG-3015 Function Generator may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
