Function Generators Juggle Price And Performance

Said to combine powerful operating features and significant value, the Models 80 and 81 function generators deliver frequencies up to 50 MHz and address the requirements of bench- and automatic-test equipment applications in consumer, industrial, biomedical, and automotive markets. The Model 80 teams function, linear and logarithmic sweep, and phase lock generators with a dc output, while the Model 81 integrates function, pulse, and phase lock generators. Its counter/timer control automatically detects external reference frequencies when in the PLL operating mode. Prices for the Models 80 and 81 are $4,495 and $5,590, respectively.
