Description

Wavetek Model 23 12 MHz Synthesized Function Generator IEEE-488 GPIB Benchtop

Benchtop synthesized function generator producing sine, square, triangle, and additional waveforms from 10 mHz to 12 MHz on the 50Ω output. Provides TTL, ECL, and function outputs with GPIB remote control capability for automated test systems.

Specifications & Features

  • Frequency Range: 10 mHz–12 MHz (50Ω); 10 mHz–32 MHz (ECL output)
  • Waveform Types: Sine, Square, Triangle, and synthesized variants
  • Output Types: Func Out (50Ω), TTL Out, ECL Out
  • Front Panel Inputs: VCG In, Trig In (TTL), AM In
  • Interface: IEEE-488 GPIB (rear connector)
  • Display: LCD alphanumeric
  • Power: 48–66 Hz, 50 VA Max; 100V/120V/220V/240V selectable

Applications

Function generators of this type serve as signal sources in electronic test benches, calibration labs, and research facilities. The Wavetek Model 23 was historically used in telecommunications, component testing, and circuit development where synthesized waveforms and GPIB control were required. Compatible with IEEE-488 equipped test systems and data acquisition setups.

Condition: Used
This Wavetek Model 23 12 MHz Synthesized Function Generator is in used condition and is being sold without its top cover, as shown in the photos. The front panel appears clean with normal age-related yellowing on the beige plastic, typical for equipment of this era. All front-panel buttons and BNC connectors are present. The rear IEEE-488 GPIB connector shows some corrosion/oxidation on the connector housing. The unit's chassis is open on top due to the missing cover. The LCD display is visible and legible in the photos. No other damage is noted. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
