Hey Ape, the signal looked pretty noisy. Was that from the generator or the Hantek? For the price, it wasn't that bad. Still very usable. Thanks for the review.

I’m sure it was the hantek, I’d test but I no longer have either of those devices 👍

Other than making filters, Gear like this and a scope also open up many other rabbit holes you can go down with building your own electronics such as logic design and amplifiers

Does anyone know how to use the Duty % function, after I selected square wave I adjusted the duty cycle to 80% from 50%, but the Duty cycle remains at 50% when viewing the selected square wave. ?

Are you viewing in the Sig Gen screen or output device?

Can you combine both outputs together into a bnc-T adapter to have both signals coming out of one output? The answer to this question mystifies Google... nobody knows.

how did you hook the speaker up to the generator, do you have video that?

Very cool. I like the form factor of that case, even if it is just a place to stash stuff. Good review, now get crackin on making some arbitrary waveforms!

The amplitude adjustment goes down to .000 volts in .001 volt increments. I connected it to a scope to verify and while the scope shows a lot of noise, I can definitely see a sine wave take shape going from .000 to .001 with greater definition as I increase the amplitude.

Not bad, good price.
