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.

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.

What can you use a signal generator to find?

To trace a problem in an amplifier. Send in a signal and trace its' path.


How can I test a coaxial cable to ensure it is functioning properly?

To test a coaxial cable for proper functioning, you can use a cable tester or multimeter to check for continuity and signal strength. Connect the cable to the tester and check for any breaks or shorts in the wiring. You can also use a signal generator to send a signal through the cable and check for any interference or loss of signal.


How would one use a hp signal generator?

What piece of test epuipment generates a tone?

You would use a Frequency Generator to generate tones. They can also be refered to as a Function Generator or Signal Generator. Check out this page on wiki for more information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_generator


Does a signal generator generate sound waves?

A signal generator produces electrical signals that can be converted into sound waves by speakers or other devices. The generated signal can vary in frequency, amplitude, and shape to create different types of sound waves.


Where can one obtain an RF signal generator?

You can obtain a RF signal generator from a variety of locations. You can try your local electronics store. If they do not stock it you can try places such as Amazon or eBay.


What type of signal is produced by an inductive generator?

AC sinewave
