There is much difference between saying and doing. So, to get
theoretical knowledge is not enough. It provides only base. In our fifth
semester Modern Measurement and Instrumentation will be there. In
this lab we have to in touch with our practical instruments like
Ammeter, Voltmeter, Different type of bridges , CRO , Thermister ,
LVDP. And we also study about the various component of the
Measurement and At last we have to submit one project which will
deal with the our Practical field. So, we make a one project namely
”Simple Function generator ” We put our lots of effort to do this
project and try our best.

AIM : To make a Simple Function Generator
Apparatus : IC 741
Resistor : 100k,10k,27k,

Working :
This is a simple function generator circuit that can produce the
following waveforms: square wave, triangular wave, and sine
wave.
The circuit's main components are four 741 IC's. The 741 is a
op-amp IC. The first op amp in Figure is configured as an astable
multivibrator, which continuously generates a square wave.
Assume that C3 has no charge initially. The voltage at the
inverting input is zero, while the voltage at the non-inverting input
is very slightly positive (a ratio of the op amp's output offset
voltage as determined by R3 and R2). This minute voltage
difference at the inputs is enough to cause the op amp's output to
swing to 'high'.
This cycle wherein the first op amp's output swings between 'low'
and 'high' goes on indefinitely, generating the square wave.The
two middle op-amps are both configured as integrators. The input
to the second op amp is the square wave output of the first op
amp. Being configured as an integrator, this op amp outputs a
triangular wave (the integral of a square wave), as shown in
Figure.
The triangular wave output of the second op amp is then fed into
the third op amp, which is also configured as an integrator. The
output of the third op amp is a sine wave (the integral of a
triangular wave).

The sine wave output of the third op amp is fed into the fourth op
amp, which is configured as an inverting amplifier. The output of
this last op amp is also a sine wave but opposite in phase as its
input.
Advantage :
Circuit should be simple
It also cheap
Disadvantage:
We can’t properly recognize difference between sine and
triangular on simple CRO.
Conclusion:
