Hello all, I recently got started playing with my scope (V-222) and I wanted to see and play with some wave forms. I tried a simple circuit but it was too slow to show much so I went out and picked up a XR2206. Built up a circuit and played with that for a bit and it was fun so I decided to search around for maybe a "real" or better function gen.
I managed to find a BK 4017A 10MHz for $45 on ebay. It had a bit of superficial damage so it was a gamble but it works nicely so I got lucky. I think that's a decent price for a newish entry level F-Gen right?
Anyways now that you know what would posses this beginner to get a F-Gen does anyone have any idea on simple fun things I can with it? Maybe I use the wave forms in a circuit or something. I haven;t graduated to building circuits with clocks yet but am willing to learn. After all my reading and watching videos it seems like it's not quite a beginners piece of equipment and maybe a more specialized device all together. I did go pick up a 50 ohm terminator and BNC stuff so I can measure correctly on my older scope.
Sorry for all the preamble, that was to let you all know where my mind is at.
