Specifications Model

4017B

The B&K Precision Model 4017B Sweep/Function Generator is the newest 4000 family member. The
4017B enhances the performance achieved by its successful predecessor, BK Precision Model 4017A
Sweep/Function Generator. These performances are achieved by using direct digital waveform synthesis
(DDS) techniques for
generating high accuracy and precision frequencies. A high performance Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
controls every aspect of the DDS
system, and is used for precise generation and processing of waveforms. The 4017B has a vast number of
applications in both analog and digital electronics, in the engineering, manufacturing, servicing, educational
and hobbyist fields. This versatile signal source is capable of generating
waveform (such as sine, triangle and square), pulse generation (through variable symmetry) and frequency
sweep. Additionally, the instrument provides a built-in frequency counter
