| Low Freq. (below 1KHz) signal generator ? |

Greetings... Al in all I am looking for a solution to test my machine Servo controller. Waveform is not too problematic, Voltage + - 5 V should do. Sqr. sinus.. etc. will be fine for this. But the freq. should be LOW.. like 0.3 Hz.... 5 Hz , although the rise / fall times should be fast as possible. 8) Are the 5 - 10 - 20 MHZ generators up to this ? (FY6600 or better to have a Siglent 1CH/2CH?) Or a PCB style is fine too ? Thanks. |

I have an old TTi TG210 2 MHz function generator that claims to go down to 0.2 Hz, but many scopes (particularly the last one I used with it at the low-end) don't do well below about 10 Hz, so I wasn't able to verify that. I doubt the rise times are fast enough for you though. Another option would be a pulse generator with fast rise times and single shot it once every couple of seconds. |

Was thinking about to make a simple NE55 based panel but then the settings will be pretty limited.. I guess. |O |

Search fleabay for "dds function generator", and interpret the spec carefully to see if it matches your requirements - especially voltage and ease of changing specs. No recommendation, but cheap things are available, e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DDS-Function-Signal-Generator-Module-Custom-Arbitrary-Waveform-Sine-Triangle/171925925124 If you want programmability, then either expect to pay more or to roll-your-own "front panel" with an arduino etc :) |

Slightly more expensive, this one claims to go down to 0.1Hz for Sine, Triangle and Square. No information on the rise/fall time though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/261114462307 I do not own such a generator, so I cannot comment, but there are a few videos on youtube for this one. Maybe that helps. |
