About this manual

The HAMEG HM8150 is a 12.5 MHz arbitrary function generator offering a wide frequency range from 10 mHz up to 12.5 MHz and a 20 Vpp open‑circuit output. It provides multiple waveform types—including sine, square, triangle, pulse and user‑defined arbitrary shapes—plus burst, gating and sweep functions.

The instrument features a 40 MSa/s output rate, <10 ns rise/fall times, RS‑232, optional USB and IEEE‑488 interfaces, and a 16‑character LCD. Power is supplied from 115/230 V mains, and the unit measures 285 × 75 × 365 mm, weighing about 5 kg.
