The Tektronix FG501 is a function generator plug-in for the TM500 system.

The FG501 was designed by Roger Stenbock. It was replaced by the FG501A in 1981.

Key Specifications

Frequency 0.01 Hz to 1 MHz in decade steps
Output Max. 20 Vp-p into high impedance, 10 V into 50 Ω (SN < B130000: 15/7.5 V)
Offset Max. ±7.5 Vp-p into high impedance, 5 V into 50 Ω (SN < B130000: 5/2.5 V)
Signals sine, square, triangle, ramp, pulse
Features
  • voltage controlled frequency input (1000:1 ratio)
  • triggering
  • gated output with variable phase control

The TRIG OUT signal is available on the front panel via a BSM female connector.

The Phase control is effective in gated mode to control the starting phase of the generated waveform.
