Hello everyone,
I am going to preface this post by saying that I am a Mechanical Engineer, and although I am familiar with basic electrical principles, I am by no means an expert. With that in mind, please expect a certain level of ignorance and naivety on my part. Now, on to my question...
I recently purchased a Virtual Bench because it seemed like the ideal option to give me basic functionality for my electronics projects. After unboxing it, I tested out each of the functions, and was happy with what it could do given my needs. At this time the function generator was giving a solid, consistent signal. However, now that I am using the function generator for a project, it is no longer giving me a consistent signal; when I read the signal back into channel one the waveform's amplitude grows and shrinks at random, and the signal shifts left and right erratically. Can anyone think what might be causing this? As far as I know I didn't do anything that would have damaged it, but then again I am a bit of a novice when it comes to this, and I'm afraid I may have broken this unit in less than a week. Any feedback from this community would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
