Function & Arbitrary
Waveform Generators
B+K Models 4070A & 4071 represents the finest single
source for signal generation to date. Combining the latest
DSP and DDS technologies, models 4070A & 4071 offers a
number of operating modes, providing a versatile,
cost-effective signal source. You will find both models are
the best value and most capable instrument for any bench.
Arbitrary Waveforms, Sweep Functions, Pulse, VCO, AM,
FM, Phase Modulations, FSK and Burst Modes are all
accessed quickly and easily from the front panel keypad.
Being true 12 bit arbitrary generators, the 4070A & 4071 are
stable, accurate and drift free. Unlike competitive models,
the 4070A & 4071 generates data point independently of the
repetition rate instead of from a simple look-up table.
Custom design waveforms on a PC, or download from a
spread sheet, oscilloscope or application program - the
4070A & 4071 will perform like no other signal source.

The B+K Precision 4070A & 4071 represents a major breakthrough in
signal generation and analysis. This versatile instrument has
capabilities that allow the engineer to use it in a broad range of that
include communications, radio, telephony, analog/digital circuit
design and test.
The 4070A & 4071 are much more than a signal generator. Never
before has so much versatility, capability and performance been
packed into a single low-cost
instrument. Its architecture is
based on the latest advances
in DSP and DDS technology
which not only ensures cali-
brated and drift-free perform-
ance, but also gives the engi-
neer signal analysis functions
such as DTMF Detection and
Power Level Measurement.
The capabilities of the 4070A
& 4071 can continually be
enhanced and expanded by
downloading software
upgrades to internal Flash
memory.
Both Models delivers clean,
fully synthesized, modulated
or unmodulated waveforms
with 0.01Hz frequency resolu-
tion. User-friendly features
include a large, easy-to-read
illuminated LCD display which
allows the user to see all mod-
ulation parameters simultane-
ously and a full numeric key-
pad and encoder which pro-
vide direct editing of each
parameter. No confusing sub-
menus!
The Arbitrary Waveform
Generator allows you to
design custom waveforms on
your personal computer and
download them to the 4070A
& 4071 which generates them
in real-time. The Arbitrary Waveform Generator system is also used
to generate pulse waveforms with an adjustable duty cycle and a
suite of pre-stored Function Generator waveforms. Arbitrary wave-
forms may either be designed with a graphical Windows®-based
design tool or be generated point-by-point in a variety of data
formats from your own application software. A floppy diskette with a
data generator program, example waveforms, and a downloader
utility are included with this option.
