Hi experts,
I am a student of electronics engineering and a new member. I have few questions related to Oscilloscope, function generator and Digital Multimeter.
1. what does the DC offset on the function generator do?
2. What is the frequency range and type of signals available?
3. What is the difference between the readings at AC and DC settings on the Digital Multimeter?
4. Is there a difference between the measurements under DC and AC coupling and Why?

Welcome to PhysicsForums. :smile:

What reading have you done so far to try to answer these questions? What links can you show us from your reading?

And is this for a schoolwork question?
