Added features include programmability, modulation, sweeping, gating, bursts, and a variety of triggering methods. Some generators provide specialty waves, such as simulated earthquake or ECG (electrocardiogram) signals. Arbitrary waveform generators (AWG) allow the creation of accurate and sophisticated stimulus signals that reflect real-world applications. For example, an automotive engineer can use an AWG to accurately simulate a fuel injector current signal in order to test some diagnostic electronics. www.bkprecision.com/SignalGenerators Modern circuits and systems can require a variety of signals for characterization and testing. B&K Precision offers 28 models of signal generators to meet these needs -- from sophisticated R&D lab work to price-conscious school budgets. ■ 2 MHz – 120 MHz ■ Analog and digital function generators ■ True arbitrary waveform generators There are two common architectures for signal generators today: DDS (direct digital synthesis) and analog. DDS generators provide flexibility, digital precision, programmability, and sophisticated performance in small packages. Capable of generating sine and square waves up to 50 MHz and 14 bit arbitrary waveforms of up to 4 million points at up to 125 million samples per second, B&K Precision's 407x series of AWGs lead the field in price, flexibility, and performance. Additionally, this AWG family also provides full function generator capabilities. While DDS generators are at the forefront of generator technology and features, analog generators are the time-tested workhorses of modern technology, troubleshooting/maintenance, and education. They provide excellent value with familiar controls and reliable operation, pleasing users and business managers alike.

Mo de ls 4 0 11 A an d 4 01 2 A are popular 5 MHz generators for general bench and lab use with an ideal mixture of features at a compelling price. The 4012A is identical to the 4011A, but with a sweep function added. Th e mo de l 40 1 0A is an entry level 2 MHz analog generator– perfect for school labs. ■ TTL/CMOS output ■ Adjustable DC offset ■ Sine/square/triangle/ramp/pulse outputs Some models have digital counters for accurate frequency setting and measuring and some are capable of sweeping in frequency. Maximum frequency output ranges from 2 MHz to 20 MHz. Typical uses for these generators are: ■ Signal injection into electrical circuits for characterization and troubleshooting ■ Experimental setups in college science course laboratories ■ Test signals for equipment used in scientific, engineering, and medical research Note: While only the 4040A offers FM modulation, all units except the 4001A have a VCG (voltage controlled generator) input that can simulate FM modulation when driven by a modulating signal. In addition, providing a ramp signal to this input can effectively sweep the generator's output frequency. On generators with sweep, the VCG jack provides a DC signal proportional to the instantaneous frequency, which can be useful for driving XY plotters or scope displays.

(CC) mode can be used for load regulation testing of DC power supplies or for characterizing the discharge profile of a battery. Constant power (CP) mode simulates a load whose power consumption is independent of the applied voltage. Constant power (CP) mode is useful for battery testing and simulating a realistic discharge curve. In constant voltage (CV) mode, the load will attempt to sink enough current to control the source voltage to the programmed value. This mode is suitable for testing battery chargers. In constant resistance (CR) mode, the load will sink a current linearly proportional to the input voltage in accordance with the programmed resistance. Unlike conventional resistors, the load resistance stays constant regardless of the power level. Model 8500 Tra ns i en t g en er at or The 8500 series offers a variable frequency generator which can be used in all operating modes. The DC load will toggle between two preset levels at a frequency between 0.1 Hz to 1 kHz, either continuously or controlled by a trigger. Remote control & application software These DC loads can be remotely controlled from any PC with USB or RS232 interface, allowing the user to fully program and monitor all parameters. An RS232 & USB to TTL serial converter cable is included. For users wanting to write their own custom software, a set of example programs are available for download via the B&K Precision website. L is t m o d e A list of command sequences can be stored in non-volatile memory and executed independently of a computer. Execution in list mode greatly reduces command processing time and computer interaction during product testing. The command sequence can be entered manually from the front panel or downloaded from a PC via RS232 or USB interface. An example of battery discharge characteristics of an AA alkaline battery A p p l ic a t io n s o f t w a r e The included application software supports front panel emulation of the load and includes a battery test application which provides A*hr rating of a battery and adjustable ending voltage levels (safety voltage). Whether designing a device with NickelMetal Hydride or Lithium-Ion batteries, the 8500 series DC electronic loads have the capabilities to test their characteristics. 29 OSCILLOSCOPES Ap pl i c at i ons : Oscilloscopes display a signal or waveform by plotting a graph of voltage (y-axis) versus time (x-axis).

The bandwidth is defined by the frequency response curve when the attenuation is at the -3 dB mark. As a general rule of thumb, the oscilloscope's bandwidth should be at least five times the highest frequency of the signal under test. Sampling Rate: Specifies the rate at which a waveform or signal is sampled. It is one of the main specifications typically defined for oscilloscopes to demonstrate the number of data samples they can display, often measured in the units of samples per second. Delayed Time Base: A feature in some oscilloscopes that allows a single signal to be viewed at two different time bases with the second time base expanding a portion of the waveform and starting at some point after the main time base begins. This is often useful for magnifying display. Sweep Rate: Rate at which a sweep generator repeats a sweep cycle.

Universities and technical schools worldwide have made our instruments standard equipment in their training programs. B&K Precision helped pioneer the electronic testing industry, and like so many early electronics firms, B&K started in a garage. By 1948, when Americans had begun buying televisions in large numbers, Chicago entrepreneur Carl Korn and his partner Philip Ban responded to the need for maintenance of often-unreliable sets. Frustrated by a lack of equipment to easily test television components, Ban and Korn began making their own devices and opened Central Television Service Company. They soon had a thriving business selling CRT rejuvenators and vacuum tube testers to other television service shops. By 1951, Korn had developed what would become B&K Precision into a company that had branched out into other areas of electronic testing and measurement. B&K engineers broke new ground, earning several patents in the field of television test equipment, and rapidly pushing the company to become a worldwide leader in electronic measurement. North America – B&K Precision Our headquarters in Yorba Linda, California house most of our administrative and executive functions including research and design, customer service and repair, and sales and marketing. The California warehouse ships to North, Central, and South America, and our service center provides our customers with live, one-on-one support. In 1961, Carl Korn placed B&K Precision under an umbrella corporation, Dynascan, comprising a variety of electronics firms. One of those companies, Cobra Electronics, came to dominate the Citizen’s Band (CB) radio phenomenon. Choosing to focus on radios, Korn sold B&K Precision. Through an ensuing series of ownership transitions B&K continued to produce high-quality testing and measurement products. Our distribution partners Since 1951 the B&K Precision name has represented quality, consistency, and value. We take pride in supplying outstanding products and excellent service at fair prices. Full certification by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 9001:2008) reflects our commitment to excellence. Our mission is to maintain the standards that have built our reputation, develop new products to meet advancing needs, and continue providing the products and service our customers have come to trust. We stand behind every product we ship. Our warranties are valid worldwide, and we provide global service and support to guarantee your satisfaction. Our offices in North America, Europe, and Asia work with an international network of authorized distributors to ensure prompt delivery and excellent customer support. B&K Precision engineers design and use the equipment we make, so we have a personal commitment to crafting well-designed products that deliver the results you need quickly and accurately. Our engineering and design teams constantly work to improve our current product families and develop new products to meet the industry’s ever-changing demands. B&K offers a complete range of general testing and measurement instruments. Our core products include power supplies and DC electronic loads, signal generators (especially function and arbitrary generators), component testers, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and multimeters. We provide a full complement of device programmers, video and cable testers, electrical and battery testers, and environmental testers. We also produce a comprehensive array of probes, leads, adapters, and additional accessories that make testing easier. Our products are backed by warranties covering parts and labor, effective worldwide. Our in-house technicians work directly with you to provide any necessary calibrations or repairs, ensuring optimum performance. Europe – Sefram Our European customers have become most familiar with B&K through our Sefram subsidiary. Sefram’s offices in St. Etienne, France currently support customers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Asia – ITECH and Lodestar Engineers in Asia know us through our ITECH and Lodestar brands. Offices in Nanjing and Taipei provide distribution and service throughout Asia, as well as the Middle East and Africa. An extensive network of independent distributors offers B&K Precision products around the globe. Visit our website to find your local authorized distributor, and even view available inventory from participating distributors. You can buy in confidence, knowing that all our products carry B&K’s warranty, and worldwide service and support. In 1996, engineer Victor Tolan, headed up a new ownership team for B&K Precision that launched a greatly expanded product line. The company also expanded upon its American base to better serve international customers. Company headquarters moved to southern California to provide improved service to Asia. In 2004 B&K expanded its presence in Europe through the acquisition of Sefram Instruments to better meet customer needs in the region. B&K Precision has come a long way from its days in Carl Korn’s garage, but holds fast to the business ideals of innovation, flexibility, and solid customer service that have guided us from our humble beginnings in America, while reaching out to embrace the rapidly expanding global marketplace. We now provide service and support on four continents, and our design team draws upon resources in places as wide-ranging as Romania, Israel, and Taiwan. As B&K Precision keeps growing, we continue to uphold the standards we set more than a half-century ago even as we find new answers to our customers’ needs. Whether you require measuring devices for a new venture; testing equipment to ensure standards adherence; technology for teaching budding young scientists—or instruments for test and measurement challenges that depend on quality and accuracy, B&K Precision Corporation has solutions.
