Function generators offer quite a bit of flexibility for creating pulses from simple modified square waves to arbitrary waveforms. Some function generators may even have special hardware added to generate very accurate pulses. For high-speed pulse applications, a dedicated pulse generator will be necessary and will offer additional features for creating pulses.
