The 4060B Series Dual Channel Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators are capable of producing precisesine, square, triangle, pulse, and arbitrary waveforms. This series combines the cost saving benefits of bothDDS and true point-by-point arbitrary architectures to meet a wide range of applications that require highsignal fidelity and low jitter arbitrary waveform generation capabilities.

Dual architecture operation

The 4060B Series arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) architecture can be toggled between conventionalDDS or true arbitrary mode. Compared to DDS (Fig. 1), true point-by-point AWG implementation offersimproved signal integrity by producing lower jitter and less distortion (Fig. 2). All models are capable ofgenerating 16-bit waveforms up to 300 MSa/s in DDS or 75 MSa/s in true arbitrary mode. The intuitive touchscreen display simplifies control of many features including extensive waveformmodulation schemes, linear/logarithmic sweep, burst mode, and variable DC offset. These generatorsprovide system integrators with auxiliary triggering capabilities, and a 10 MHz reference clock forsynchronizing multiple instruments.196 built-in arbitrary waveforms offer a variety of arbitrary test signals for both simple and complexapplications. Generate custom arbitrary waveforms and download them to the instrument using theincluded application software. Alternatively, use the included LabVIEWTM drivers to load .csv or .txtwaveform data files directly into the generator’s internal memory.
