...or you can use presets, the Windows software, or write your own Linux software.
The FY3224S is cheap and serves many purposes. Of course it leaves a lot to be desired, but in combination with other cheap devices it can become a useful hobby equipment for little money.
In my case, for example:
FY3224S: 2 channels, 20Vpp, phase, sweep etc.
Hantek DSO2000 built-in AWG: Adds much better rise times, shorter pulses and AM/FM modulation with selectable waveforms (But only 1ch and limited Vpp).
TinySA: Provides much higher bandwidth (350MHz sine, less stepped signal than 12bit) and AM/FM (stepped sine only, 1ch and very limited Vpp).
You can test and learn a lot with these. All of course only hobby/beginner quality. A "decent" signal generator still costs quite a bit of money.
