Square Wave
Press Waveforms key to select the waveform function, and press the Square softkey. The square waveform parameters
are set by using the Square operation menu.
The parameters of square waveforms include frequency/period, amplitude/high level, oset/low level, phase and duty. As
shown in Figure 3.1, select DutyCycle. The duty cycle parameter area is highlighted in the parameter display window,
and users can set the duty cycle value here.
Function Description
Frequency/ Period Set the signal frequency or period; The current parameter will be switched at a second press.
Amplitude/ HighLevel Set the signal amplitude or high level; The current parameter will be switched at a second
press.
Oset/ LowLevel Set the signal oset or low level; The current parameter will be switched at a second press.
Phase Set the phase of the signal.
DutyCycle Set the duty cycle for square waveform.
Figure 3.1 Square Wave Parameters
1 Duty Cycle
The ratio of the amount of time the pulse is in the high state and the waveform’s period.
The duty cycle setting range is limited by the “Frequency/Period” setting. For detailed information, please refer to
“4060B Series Datasheet”. The default value is 50%.
1. Press Waveforms → Square → DutyCycle, to set the duty cycle. The duty cycle shown on the screen when the
instrument is powered on is the default value or the set value of last power down.
2. Input the desired Duty Cycle. Use the numeric keyboard to input the parameter value directly and press the corre-
sponding key to select the parameter unit. Or use the arrow keys to select the digit to edit, and then use the knob
to change its value. The generator will change the waveform immediately.
Note: The methods of setting other parameters of square signal are similar to sine waveform function.
