Audio Function Generator
From the Home screen, tap Audio Function Generator
to launch this app. The function generator is used to
create waveforms in the audio frequency range. Select a
waveform, frequency, and volume for each channel.
Start and stop using the buttons at left. The link between
left and right channels is on by default, so that both
channels start and stop together. Tap the link icon to
control the channels independently.
The sliders can also be used to control frequency. Tapping left or right of the slider will halve or
double the frequency.
A common use of the Audio Function Generator is to create tones and beats for waveform study
using a microphone. For the best waveform quality, connect a powered computer speaker to the
audio output jack of LabQuest.
Periodic Table
From the Home screen, tap Periodic Table to launch
this app. The Periodic Table contains standard reference
information on the elements. Tap an element to see
details.
