it was a seperate thread on a different forum.
Ah, OK. That's why it didn't sound familiar.
the 50/60/100/120Hz is very usefull, because you can test stuff that normally gets timing pulses from a mains transformer.
Absolutely. There's also 400 Hz for some power systems (military?). Round numbers such as 1, 10, 100 kHz. I don't recall what the low end of the generator's range is, but there's 1 Hz for clock projects.
The U1252B I have uses the following presets for its frequency gen:
0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 80, 100, 120, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400, 480, 600, 800, 1200, 1600, 2400, 4800 Hz
It doesn't go very high, but it's interesting to see what they chose. I'm not sure why 1 kHz wasn't included.
