I was watching Ebay for a basic signal generator to test aftermarket car ecu set ups on the bench by injecting waveforms to mimic Hall effect or magnetic sensors, then realised that these are now available as USB add ons for lap tops and desk top PC's. Apart from being tied to using one with a PC, are there other disadvantages? I wondered if their voltage and current output is limited? If used for other work, are they stable and accurate? If I got a bench type signal generator I would want a digital frequency display, and many of those seem a bit over the top, functionality and complexity wise, for what I probably need. Thanks. I am in the UK, and new to this forum, but try not to hold that against me
Can you please help?
thanks
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
