The 4060B Series Dual Channel Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators are capable of producing precise

sine, square, triangle, pulse, and arbitrary waveforms. This series combines the cost saving beneﬁts of both

DDS and true point-by-point arbitrary architectures to meet a wide range of applications that require high

signal ﬁdelity and low jitter arbitrary waveform generation capabilities.

Dual architecture operation

The 4060B Series arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) architecture can be toggled between conventional

DDS or true arbitrary mode. Compared to DDS (Fig. 1), true point-by-point AWG implementation offers

improved signal integrity by producing lower jitter and less distortion (Fig. 2). All models are capable of

generating 16-bit waveforms up to 300 MSa/s in DDS or 75 MSa/s in true arbitrary mode.

Model 4062B 4063B 4064B

Sine frequency range 1 µHz to 40 MHz 1 µHz to 80 MHz 1 µHz to 120 MHz

Square frequency range 1 µHz to 25 MHz

The intuitive touchscreen display simpliﬁes control of many features including extensive waveform

modulation schemes, linear/logarithmic sweep, burst mode, and variable DC offset. These generators

provide system integrators with auxiliary triggering capabilities, and a 10 MHz reference clock for

synchronizing multiple instruments.

196 built-in arbitrary waveforms offer a variety of arbitrary test signals for both simple and complex

applications. Generate custom arbitrary waveforms and download them to the instrument using the

included application software. Alternatively, use the included LabVIEW

drivers to load .csv or .txt

waveform data ﬁles directly into the generator’s internal memory.
