The FG501 was designed by [[Roger Stenbock]].
The FG501 was designed by [[Roger Stenbock]].


The TRIG OUT signal is available on the front panel via a [[BSM|BSM female connector]].
The FG501 is specified at a max frequency of 1 MHz, while the "A" model is specified at 2 MHz. The FG501 features seven different functions: Sine, Triangle, Square, +Ramp, -Ramp, 50%>duty square, 50%<duty. The Duty cycle of the Ramp and pulses (not square) are determined by the equation 1/2,,f,, where the veriable ,,f,, represents frequency.
The "A" model features only 3 functions: Sine, Triangle, Square. But the other absent functions compensated with a variable symmetry function, effectively allowing the same functionality with only three functions. The "A" model also features an attenuator, not found in the non-"A" model.

===Version differences===
The FG501 non-A frequency maximum is 1 MHz, while the "A" model is specified at 2 MHz.
The FG501 features seven different functions – Sine, Triangle, Square, +Ramp, –Ramp, Pulse ≤50% duty, Pulse ≥50%.  The duration of ramp and pulse waveforms is always equal to the half-cycle time of the sine, square, or triangle waveform frequency
The FG501A model features only 3 functions – Sine, Triangle, Square – however, it has an added variable symmetry function, effectively allowing the same functionality as the non-A model
The FG501A also features an attenuator, not found in the non-A model.
