Default Your experience with function generators

The frequency stability of my HP3312A function generator is poor, very
annoying for any practical use. I am trying to determine whether that
behavior is fairly normal for function generators, or my particular unit has
got a problem.

What is your experience on function generators frequency stability?


Most of them aren't terribly long-term stable, because they aren't designed
for that. But with the HP, there will be a specification for drift in the
back of the manual.

If you give it a half-hour warm-up, how much does it drift in the next
half-hour?
