Few people are aware that Monsanto once produced exquisite equipment, but they did. This unit appeared about 1968/69, cost about half the annual salary of an American worker and became a significant piece of state-of-the-art technology at many scientific institutions.
It could produce over 130,000,000 discrete frequencies, sweep them, modulate them in AM or FM, provided a vco input, provided a computer interface and controlled all that to 1/100th of a Hz from a very accurate timebase.
I demonstrate the unit , produce various frequencies, modulate the frequencies, sweep them and more.
