#137: Why your Function Generator's output voltage reading can be wrong
Why people recommend it
Explains why a function generator output can read twice the set amplitude on a scope without a 50 ohm termination, and how termination fixes it.
Watch for: One viewer saw different results with a 1X probe at low frequency
In their words
Btw this guy says here:[video] that he observes twice the signal set by the function generator if he doesn't use the 50 Ohm termination.
