A signal generator is used to shoot flares in the air from a ships deck. It can launch flares highter than typical flares and can be seen from greater distances.

There are many types of signal generators that have a wide variety of uses. However, the most common use is to create and broadcast your own radio station or communication network.

What is the difference between audio generator and signal generator?

Audio generator will produce some range of frequency and level of a test signal meant for audio. A signal generator will produce a test signal but is a more general classification. For example a audio generator is a signal generator. When you know what type of signal you are looking for, then a signal generator will be called that type of signal. all depends on what you are testing. examples: video -> video signal generator audio -> audio signal generator


Is a signal generator better and easier to use then a rectifier?

yes


What is a signal generator for a speedometer?

if the speedometer works off of an input wave (sinusoidal signal) you would think the signal generator would be a source of reference


What is the difference between a floating output signal generator and a grounded output signal generator?

A signal generator can be used to function in two ways. In high frequencies, one of output probes of any generator (negative probe) will be grounded automatically, hence it has to be connected with grounded parts of other elements not to create a short circuit problem. But, in the case of floating type (f<100 Hz, generally) probes of the signal generator is not grounded.


What is the role of clock generator in microprocessor?

The clock signal in a microprocessor allows synchronization of several components of the microprocessor. The correctness of the computation of the microprocessor depends upon efficient and balanced distribution of the clock signal. The clock generator generates the clock signal.
