Hello all! This is my first post to the forum, and I've got a few questions on my equipment. First off, I have a Simpson 422 function/sweep generator, and it works beautifully. Almost. The square waves are near-perfect, as are the triangle waves, and the sine waves are..well, they're also triangle waves. Where do I start with this? My gut feeling is a leaky/bad filter cap somewhere, but I have only little experience in these things(I bought it to help do the labs for class). I've had utterly no luck finding a repair manual, or even a schematic, anywhere(anyone here have one handy?). I can provide a picture tomorrow, if necessary.
And my HP 54200A oscilloscope. This thing is also near perfect..although the fan is quite noisy. The other issue is that it won't turn on unless grounded..and if ungrounded, it leaves you with a pretty nasty shock. Any ideas on where to look for this ground fault?
Thank you much for your help, everyone.
