Very extremely ultra low frequency

Karl,

This looks like a nice signal generator for the workbench.  I am not 
sure what size the steps are but I could infer them to be in 1 uHz 
steps, at least at the bottom.  I am not sure what a 1 uHz signal might 
be used for but this generator has it unless you are in the seismology 
business.

It looks like it is DDS based generator so I can also think the waveform 
will move however slightly once per second.  This might imply a really 
stable internal power supply to match the 1 uHz waveform.

But let me repeat it looks like a nice signal generator.
