4. Set the controls of the function generator to produce a sine wave of about 1000 Hz frequency and a few volts amplitude. Depending on your generator, here’s how: ANALOG (Krohn-Hite, Wavetek, Exact) Use the \waveform" or \function" switch to select the sine (curvy-line) waveform type. Use the frequency adjust knob and multiplier button/switch
