Applications
The FG 501A was used in test and measurement environments, research labs, and service facilities where flexible waveform generation was required. It integrates into Tektronix TM500 modular mainframes, which supported multi-slot configurations for combined test capabilities. This module type was standard in analog electronics testing, circuit characterization, and signal analysis work through the 1980s and beyond.
This Tektronix FG 501A 2MHz Function Generator plug-in module has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The front panel shows normal light wear consistent with lab use — the controls, dial, and push-button selectors are all present and intact. The chassis and perforated side panels are in good shape with no significant damage visible. The TM500 card-edge connector on the rear is intact. This is the plug-in module only; a compatible TM500 series mainframe is required for operation and is not included. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
