2  Introduction 
Description 
The B&K Precision model 4005DDS is a versatile 5 MHz DDS (direct digital synthesis) 
function generator with display up to 4 digits. The instrument generates sinusoidal, 
triangular, and square waveforms over the 1 Hz to 5 MHz range. The output voltage 
can be varied from 0 to 10 Vp-p into 50 ohms or to 20 Vp-p into open circuit. A 
continuously variable DC offset allows the output to be injected directly into circuits 
at the correct bias level. 
Features 
  Frequency is selectable from 1 Hz to 5 MHz 
  Sine, square, or triangle waveform output 
  Direct digital synthesis (DDS) architecture 
  Bright, easy-to-read LED display 
  Number pad for quick input of frequency 
  Front panel push button and pull knob can attenuate output by up to 40 dB 
3  Installation 
3.1  Initial Inspection 
This unit is tested prior to shipment. It is therefore ready for immediate use upon 
receipt. The initial physical inspections should be made to ensure that no damage has 
been sustained during shipment. 
Inspect the packing box on receipt for any external damage. If any external damage is 
evident, remove the instrument and visually inspect its case and parts for any 
damage. If damage to the instrument is evident, a description of the damage should 
be noted on the carrier’s receipt and signed by the driver or carrier agent. Save all 
shipping packaging for inspection and contact the distributor from where the 
instrument was purchased.
