SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommendations for analogue function generators and power supplies for electronics testing. The user currently utilizes a Tektronix CFG250 function generator, which outputs frequencies up to 2 MHz, but seeks alternatives without screens and within a lower price range. Additionally, the user requires a power supply capable of 40 volts and 500 mA. Suggestions include exploring HP/Agilent for high-quality test equipment, while noting that Tektronix primarily excels in oscilloscopes.

What I really need is an analogue function generator of some sort. Right now I am using a tektronix cfg250 which can put out up to 2mhz frequencies (square, sine, sawtooth, etc). Is there anything similar to this? I don't want anything with a screen on it...but it looks like tektronix doesn't sell anything under $2500 anymore.

I also need a power supply...40volts and 500mA would suffice. Any recommendations from the electronic savvy people out there?

Thanks

The best company is hp/agilent which makes the highest quality test equipment, you can find pretty good deals on ebay.

tek only makes good oscilloscopes, besides that other companies aren't really reliable.
 
I'm not sure HP and Agilent is within his budget. Sometimes good enough is truly good enough.
