A new line of function generators has a proprietary IC that reduces the number of parts and doubles the bandwidth. The four models feature bandwidths from 2 MHz to 20 MHz.
Model 4010 has 0.2-Hz to 2-MHz bandwidth and all the basic functions, including sine, square, triangle waves, TTL and CMOS outputs, variable waveform symmetry and variable DC offset. Model 4011 has a 0.2-Hz to 5-MHz bandwidth and a built-in four-digit LED counter. Model 4017 features a 0.1-Hz to 10-MHz bandwidth, a five-digit counter and lin/log sweep. Model 4040 is similar to the 4017 but has 0.2-Hz to 20-MHz bandwidth, AM, FM and burst operation. 4010: $229; 4011: $284; 4017: $369; 4040: $499. B+K Precision, (312) 889-1448.
