Dual Channel Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators
4060 Series
The 4060 Series Dual Channel Function/Arbitrary
Waveform Generators are capable of generating
stable and precise sine, square, triangle, pulse,
and arbitrary waveforms. With an easy-to-read
color display and intuitive user interface with
numeric keypad, these instruments offer plenty
of features including linear/logarithmic sweep,
built-in counter, extensive modulation and
triggering capabilities, a continuously variable DC
offset, and a high performance 14-bit, 500 MSa/s
arbitrary waveform generator.
Easily create custom arbitrary waveforms using the
included waveform editing software or use any of
the 36 built-in predefined arbitrary waveforms. Up
to 8 user-defined 512-kpt arbitrary waveforms
and 24 user-defined 16-kpt arbitrary waveforms
can be saved to the instrument. Additionally, the
included LabVIEW™ drivers allow users to
conveniently load and save .CSV or text file data
directly into the arb memory without having to use
waveform editing software.
Extensive modulation capabilities include
amplitude and frequency modulation (AM/FM),
double sideband amplitude modulation (DSB-
AM), amplitude and frequency shift keying
(ASK/FSK), phase modulation (PM), and pulse
width modulation (PWM).
The standard external 10 MHz reference clock
input and output allows users to synchronize
their instrument with another generator. This
feature is typically not found in function
generators at this price point. Additionally,
the phase of both output channels can be
synchronized conveniently with the push of
a button.
These versatile function/arbitrary waveform
generators are suitable for education and other
applications that require high signal fidelity, a
variety of modulation schemes, or arbitrary
waveform generation capabilities.

Dual Channel Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators
4060 Series
Flexible operation
Dual channel output
Wide variety of modulation schemes
Generate waveforms with ease
Save time with the 4060 Series’ two independent
channels to output synchronous signals. With a
push of a button, all waveform parameters can be
quickly copied between channels to set up
identical output signals. Phase between channels
can also be adjusted from the front panel.
Arbitrary waveform generation
These instruments are capable of many different
types of modulation for various applications.
Modulate your waveforms with AM, DSB-AM,
FM, PM, ASK, FSK, and PWM modulation
schemes.
Synchronization and external triggering
The provided waveform editing software can be
used to create point-by-point arbitrary waveforms
via freehand or waveform math functions. A
standard USB interface on the rear panel allows
users to easily interface with a PC to load these
arbitrary waveforms into the instrument. The front
panel also offers a convenient USB host port for
connecting your USB flash drive to save/recall
instrument settings and waveforms.
Easy-to-read color display
All models in the 4060 series provide non-volatile
memory to create, store, and recall up to 24
different 16-kpt arbitrary waveforms and up to 8
different 512-kpt arbitrary waveforms. Users can
also output any of the 36 built-in predefined
arbitrary waveforms.
Use the external 10 MHz clock input and output
to synchronize your signals to a master time base.
The Sync output generates a TTL pulse for
synchronization to a channel’s frequency. An
external trigger BNC connector is also available
for inputting or generating a trigger signal.
Large 4.3” color display shows the currently
selected channel and all relevant parameters.
Advanced pulse generator
4060 Series adjustable rise/fall times
12 ns width pulse at 0.1 Hz frequency
Typical DDS generator with limited rise/fall time ranges
86.06 ps cycle-to-cycle jitter
For applications requiring high signal integrity
and edge stability, the 4060 Series can
generate pulses with a low cycle-to-cycle
jitter of < 100 ps.
Capable of setting edge times within a large
range, the 4060 Series can generate pulses
with minimum rise/fall times of 6 ns and
maximum rise/fall times of 6 seconds..
Unlike traditional DDS generators, the
4060 Series has the capability to output a
rapid pulse at very low frequencies. Duty
cycle can be set to as low as 0.0001%.
