B&K Precision Debuts New Family of Dual Channel Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators

Unique to the 4060 Series are its advanced pulse generation capabilities. The instruments can generate pulses with low jitter <100 ps and output 12 ns width pulses at frequencies as low as 0.1 Hz–a feature not typically found in DDS generators. Rise and fall times are also adjustable within a large range, e.g. users can output pulses with 6 ns rise times combined with 6 s fall times.

All models provide two independent output channels with a large 4.3” color LCD display, rotary control knob, numeric keypad, and intuitive function keys to make waveform adjustments quick and easy. Other standard features include a built-in counter, Sync output, trigger I/O terminal, and external 10 MHz reference clock input and output for synchronization of the instrument to another generator.

The 4060 Series offers linear and logarithmic sweep function and a wide variety of modulation schemes for modulated signal applications: 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). 

Equipped with a high performance 14-bit, 500 MSa/s, 512k-point arbitrary waveform generator, the 4060 Series provides users 36 built-in arbitrary waveforms and the ability to create and load up to 32 custom arbitrary waveforms using the included waveform editing software via standard USB interface on the rear. A front panel USB host port is available for users to conveniently save waveforms and setups on a USB flash drive or to connect the optional USB-to-GPIB adapter for GPIB connectivity.

Available immediately, B&K Precision's 4060 Series products are backed by a standard 3-year warranty at the following list prices:

4063 -- 80 MHz -- $1,350

4064 -- 120 MHz -- $1,670
