Arbitrary waveform generators, or AWGs, are sophisticated signal generators which allow the user to generate arbitrary waveforms, within published limits of frequency range, accuracy, and output level.

Computer programs can be used to generate arbitrary waveforms on a general-purpose computer and output the waveform via an output interface.

This occurrence is typically used to generate electrical oscillations and waveforms, as in the relaxation oscillator whose schematic is shown in the picture on the right.

The monophonic Soloist and Pro Soloist each feature a single oscillator, which generates pulse and sawtooth waveforms.

A card can also be used, in conjunction with software, to generate arbitrary waveforms, acting as an audio-frequency function generator.

As the drum rotated it generated waveforms corresponding to the ZXY code of the line whose information was available at that time.

An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is a piece of electronic test equipment used to generate electrical waveforms.

Integrated circuits used to generate waveforms may also be described as function generator ICs.

Does it generate waveforms?

A PC speaker generates waveforms using the programmable interval timer.
