Setup notes
On the function generators…
…make sure that all knobs are turned fully counter-clockwise (minimum/off) except for amplitude (which should be fully clockwise (maximum).
…set the frequency to a few thousand kHz and amplitude to maximum, which should correspond to about 7-10 V, peak-to-peak as measured on the AC voltage setting on the multimeter.
