INTRODUCTION
The B+K Precision Model 4010A Function Generator is a
versatile signal source which combines several functions into one
unit. A calibrated dial provides frequency accuracy within 5%.
High stability assures that the output frequency does not drift.
The heart of the function generator is a VCG (voltage-controlled
generator) that produces precision sine, square, or triangle waves
over the 0.2 Hz to 2 MHz range. This encompasses subaudible,
audio, ultrasonic, and RF applications. A continuously variable dc
offset allows the output to be injected directly into circuits at the
correct bias level.
Variable symmetry of the output waveform converts the
instrument to a pulse generator capable of generating
rectangular waves or pulses, ramp or sawtooth waves, and
slewed sine waves.
In addition to the above features, an external signal may
be used to sweep the output frequency or control operating
frequency. This is useful in situations where an externally
controlled frequency is desirable.
With this versatility, the unit has a vast number of
applications in both analog and digital electronics in the
engineering, manufacturing, servicing, educational, and
hobbyist fields.
