INTRODUCTION WAVETEK has challenged the 80’s with a revolutionary new series of programmable test instruments. This new series offers a fully Programmable Function Generator, a Programmable Function/Pulse Generator, and a Programmable Synthesized Function Generator. The WAVETEK Model 270 is the lowest-cost fully programmable, GPIB compatible Function Generator on the market today. Despite its low cost, the 270 offers features not found on other programmable function generators at any price. Convenience features such as 80 stored settings, stored calibration procedures and performance verification, external width, and 40-character command recall are all standard with the 270. The 270 is equally at home in bench-top or GPIB ATE applications. With little more investment than a conventional non-programmabie generator, the 270 can be the basis for an automated test system. WAVETEK’s famous free format programming (a standard feature) provides freedom in programming and eliminates problems caused by intermediate waveforms. The WAVETEK Model 271 is the lowest-cost fully programmable, GPIB compatible Function and Pulse Generator on the market today. In addition to all of the features of the Model 270, the Model 271 is also a true Pulse Generator. This means that pulse period and width can be set independently, not by using a symmetry control. The 271 also offers programmable pulse delay and separate upper and lower pulse amplitudes. There is nothing in this price range that can program pulse period, pulse width, pulse delay, upper level and lower level. Counted burst to 1,048,200 cycles is standard. The WAVETEK Model 278 does it all, and at a remarkably low price. It is the lowest cost generator on the market today with all of the following features: sine, triangle, and square waves to 12 MHz, synthesized continuous mode with 0.0005% frequency accuracy, programmable pulse period, width, upper level, and lower level, and standard counted burst to 1,048,200 cycles. These combined with all the aforementioned features of the 270, make a combination that's impossible to beat. This brochure introduces you to the Model 270, 271 and 278 features and ease of operation.
