[ARC5] Signal generator selection

[MICHAEL ST ANGELO]

One consideration is downsizing in the future. I have built a good selection of test equipment dating from the 1970's to the present. I am now retired and we plan on downsizing in a couple of years. Any test equipment purchased in the future will have to use a lot less space.

I managed to come up with a Motorola 0-40 VDC/ 0-40 amp power supply  and a Tex 485 scope over the last year and half. I already had a couple of DMM's and have a Simpson 260 Series 7 that needs a set of battery leads to be functional. I did a power needs survey this morning and hit a temporary roadblock... I'm out of power in the office as soon as the scope is powered up with all the normal office stuff running. Going to have to relocate the bench to the garage and pop in a couple of 120 circuits and another 240 one for the power supply.

Depending on what you work on and what type of tests you run, determines what kind of generator will fit the bill. Run down the list against the generator features and match them up. If it has a buss, that's just a bonus that you won't need..
