There are other definitions than what is being said

A function generator is a device that outputs a periodic waveform. In your case, most likely a square wave.

I am not aware of any other meaning.

That answer gets my vote.

Yep, A function generator is a sophisticated signal generator capable of producing many different waveforms.

Yeah, it doesn't really have to do specifically with digital logic. It is just a piece of hardware that outputs a periodic waveform. You can adjust things like the frequency, amplitude, symmetry, offset... etc.

how many waveforms does one usually have?

It depends on the cost. The ones we have at school have more then 10.

Hehe, first time I read that, I though it was a slam. square wave

the ones at my school just have three 😉

It is usually periodic, but also can be programmable (i.e. lookup-table) or random (white noise).

You sure post a lot of your schoolwork questions here! 😀
