SIGNAL GENERATOR
Information
A signal Generator is one of the radio serviceman's basic
test instruments. In the Simpson 340 Signal Generator we
have provided at a moderate price an instrument of highest
accuracy, greatest stability, minimum leakage and good wave
form. It gives a test signal source that will maintain its
accuracy under constant use. It enables you to
"troubleshoot" fast and accurately every time. The big
nine-inch meter type dial, with hair-line pointer, gives
high readability. Smooth vernier control permits close settings.
Your pride in your model 340 will grow as you learn of its
many hidden virtues—the unusual quality of materials from
which it is made, the advanced electronic engineering it
embodies. Take the shielding as an example. The coils, the
attenuator and the signal selector are individually
shielded. Oscillator and modulator assemblies are sealed in
a rigidly welded, entirely enclosed chassis. An effective
line Filter is used. Even the line cord is shielded. The
result is to cut leakage to a minimum. These are but a few
of the refinements of model 340.
1. The model 340 Signal Generator is designed to give the
service dealer a practical, easy to use, test signal source
that will maintain its accuracy in every-day use. Its big
9-inch meter type dial with .its long scale makes accurate
settings an easy matter. The entire instrument, with its
beautifully finished panel, gives a professional appearance
that is an asset to any shop.
The instrument is supplied with a shielded output lead and
operator's manual. The standard model is for use on 115
volt, 50 or 60 cycle current supply.

3. CIRCUIT
The electron coupled circuit assures extreme stability.
Three tubes are used in the circuit, one 6X5GT as a full
wave rectifier, one 6I5GT as a 400 cycle audio Oscillator
and modulator and one 6K6GT as the electron coupled RF
oscillator.
4. OUTPUT
The signal is controlled through a step attenuator of the
ladder type, each step being regulated by a smooth
non-inductive control. The RF output can be varied from a
few microvolts to approximately .15 volts while the 400
cycle audio signal can be varied from 0 to about 3.5 volts.
