===Using a Function Generator===
You can test the function generator by connecting it directly to the leads of an oscilloscope. Just remember that the function generator will be impedance bridged with the oscilloscope, so you may observe a slight reduction in your signal’s amplitude after connecting the function generator to your circuit. After checking your circuit, connect the leads from the function generator to the circuit before turning on the power. On our particular model of function generator, the output is always on, so keep that in mind as you use it.

Don’t be afraid to spend time with your function generator; its primary love language is definitely quality time.
