bap8guy | Rockland 5100 - .001Hz to 2Mhz in .001Hz Steps @bap8guy | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
The Rockland 5100 is a early 70's DDS generator capable of producing crystal controlled frequencies from .001Hz to 2Mhz in .001Hz steps! It has a line of 10 dials to select the frequency desired, has a variable output, switch selectable attenuation of 1/2/4/8/10/20/40dB, a 1vPP fixed output, outputs front and rear and a programming port for remote control and monitoring. It is a valuable tool for investigation of frequencies and filters within it's range.
In this video I introduce the unit, walk you around it, demonstrate it's use and precision. Towards the videos end I demonstrate it's use in setting up and testing the effectiveness of a .145Hz infrasonic filter, where a 1/10th hz change in frequency makes a dramatic change in output voltage.
