Safety Summary

The following safety precautions apply to both operating and maintenance personnel and must be followed during all
phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument.

Before applying power to this instrument:

• Read and understand the safety and operational information in this manual.

• Apply all the listed safety precautions.

• Verify that the voltage selector at the line power cord input is set to the correct line voltage. Operating the instrument

at an incorrect line voltage will void the warranty.

• Make all connections to the instrument before applying power.

• Do not operate the instrument in ways not specied by this manual or by B&K Precision.

Failure to comply with these precautions or with warnings elsewhere in this manual violates the safety standards of design,
manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. B&K Precision assumes no liability for a customer’s failure to comply
with these requirements.

Category rating

The IEC 61010 standard denes safety category ratings that specify the amount of electrical energy available and the
voltage impulses that may occur on electrical conductors associated with these category ratings. The category rating is
a Roman numeral of I, II, III, or IV. This rating is also accompanied by a maximum voltage of the circuit to be tested,
which denes the voltage impulses expected and required insulation clearances. These categories are:

Category I (CAT I): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are not intended to be connected to the

mains supply. The voltages in the environment are typically derived from a limited-energy trans­former or a battery.

Category II (CAT II): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are meant to be connected to the mains

supply at a standard wall outlet or similar sources. Example measurement environments are portable
tools and household appliances.

Category III (CAT III): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are meant to be connected to the mains

installation of a building. Examples are measurements inside a building’s circuit breaker panel
or the wiring of permanently-installed motors.

Category IV (CAT IV): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are meant to be connected to the primary

power entering a building or other outdoor wiring.

Do not use this instrument in an electrical environment with a higher category rating than what is specied in this manual
for this instrument.

You must ensure that each accessory you use with this instrument has a category rating equal to or higher than the
instrument’s category rating to maintain the instrument’s category rating. Failure to do so will lower the category rating
of the measuring system.

Electrical Power

This instrument is intended to be powered from a CATEGORY II mains power environment. The mains power should be
115 V RMS or 230 V RMS. Use only the power cord supplied with the instrument and ensure it is appropriate for your
country of use.

Ground the Instrument

To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical safety ground. This
instrument is grounded through the ground conductor of the supplied, three-conductor AC line power cable. The power
cable must be plugged into an approved three-conductor electrical outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the power
cable meet IEC safety standards.

Do not alter or defeat the ground connection. Without the safety ground connection, all accessible conductive parts
(including control knobs) may provide an electric shock. Failure to use a properly-grounded approved outlet and the
recommended three-conductor AC line power cable may result in injury or death.

3

Unless otherwise stated, a ground connection on the instrument’s front or rear panel is for a reference of potential only
and is not to be used as a safety ground. Do not operate in an explosive or ammable atmosphere.

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of ammable gases or vapors, fumes, or nely-divided particulates.

The instrument is designed to be used in oce-type indoor environments. Do not operate the instrument

• In the presence of noxious, corrosive, or ammable fumes, gases, vapors, chemicals, or nely-divided particulates.

• In relative humidity conditions outside the instrument’s specications.

• In environments where there is a danger of any liquid being spilled on the instrument or where any liquid can condense

on the instrument.

• In air temperatures exceeding the specied operating temperatures.

• In atmospheric pressures outside the specied altitude limits or where the surrounding gas is not air.

• In environments with restricted cooling air ow, even if the air temperatures are within specications.

• In direct sunlight.

This instrument is intended to be used in an indoor pollution degree 2 environment. The operating temperature range is
0∘C to 40∘C and 20% to 80% relative humidity, with no condensation allowed. Measurements made by this instrument
may be outside specications if the instrument is used in non-oce-type environments. Such environments may include
rapid temperature or humidity changes, sunlight, vibration and/or mechanical shocks, acoustic noise, electrical noise,
strong electric elds, or strong magnetic elds.

Do not touch live circuits

Instrument covers must not be removed by operating personnel. Component replacement and internal adjustments must
be made by qualied service-trained maintenance personnel who are aware of the hazards involved when the instrument’s
covers and shields are removed. Under certain conditions, even with the power cord removed, dangerous voltages may
exist when the covers are removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect the power cord from the instrument, disconnect
all other connections (for example, test leads, computer interface cables, etc.), discharge all circuits, and verify there
are no hazardous voltages present on any conductors by measurements with a properly-operating voltage-sensing device
before touching any internal parts. Verify the voltage-sensing device is working properly before and after making the
measurements by testing with known-operating voltage sources and test for both DC and AC voltages. Do not attempt
any service or adjustment unless another person capable of rendering rst aid and resuscitation is present.
Do not insert any object into an instrument’s ventilation openings or other openings.

Hazardous voltages may be present in unexpected locations in circuitry being tested when a fault condition in the circuit
exists.

Fuse replacement must be done by qualied service-trained maintenance personnel who are aware of the instrument’s fuse
requirements and safe replacement procedures. Disconnect the instrument from the power line before replacing fuses.
Replace fuses only with new fuses of the fuse types, voltage ratings, and current ratings specied in this manual or on
the back of the instrument. Failure to do so may damage the instrument, lead to a safety hazard, or cause a re. Failure
to use the specied fuses will void the warranty.

Modulation Function

Use the Mod key to generate modulated waveforms. The 4060B Series can generate AM, FM, ASK, FSK, PSK, PM,
PWM and DSB-AM modulated waveforms. Modulating parameters vary with the types of the modulation. In AM,
users can set the source (internal/external), depth, modulating frequency, modulating waveform and carrier. In DSB­AM, users can set the source (internal/external), modulating frequency, modulating waveform and carrier. In FM, users
can set the source (internal/external), modulating frequency, frequency deviation, modulating waveform and carrier.
In PM, users can set the source (internal/external), phase deviation, modulating frequency, modulating waveform and
carrier. In ASK, users can set the source (internal/external), key frequency and carrier. In FSK, users can set the source
(internal/external), key frequency, hop frequency and carrier. In PSK, users can set the source (internal/external), key
frequency, polarity and carrier. In PWM, users can set the source (internal/external), modulating frequency, width/duty
cycle deviation, modulating waveform and carrier.
We will introduce how to set these parameters in details according to the modulation types.

9.1 AM

The modulated waveform consists of two parts: the carrier and the modulating waveform. In AM, the amplitude of the
carrier varies with the instantaneous voltage of the modulating waveform.
Press Mod → Type → AM, the parameters of AM modulation are shown in Figure 9.1.

9.1.1 To Select Modulation Source

The 4060B Series can accept modulating signal from an internal or external modulation source. Press Mod → AM →
Source to select “Internal” or “External” modulation source. The default is “Internal”.

9.1.2 Internal Source

When internal AM modulation source is selected, press Shape to select Sine, Square, Triangle, UpRamp, DnRamp, Noise
or Arb as modulating waveform.

• Square: 50% duty cycle

• Triangle: 50% symmetry

• UpRamp: 100% symmetry

• DnRamp: 0% symmetry

• Arb: the arbitrary waveform selected of the current channel

Note: Noise can be used as modulating waveform but cannot be used as the carrier.

9.1.3 External Source

When external AM modulation source is selected, the generator accepts external modulating signal from the [Aux In/Out]
connector at the rear panel. At this time, the amplitude of the modulated waveform is controlled by the signal level
applied to the connector. For example, if the modulation depth is set to 100%, the output amplitude will be the maximum
when the modulating signal is +6V and the minimum when the modulating signal is -6V.
The 4060B Series can use one channel as a modulating source for the other channel. The following example takes the
output signal of CH2 as the modulating waveform.

1. Connect the CH2 output terminal to [Aux In/Out] connector on the rear panel using a dual BNC cable.

2. Select CH1 and press Mod to select the desired modulation type as well as set the corresponding parameters, and
then select external modulation source.

3. Select CH2 and select the desired modulating waveform and set the corresponding parameters.

4. Press Output to enable the output of CH1.

9.1.4 Modulation Depth

Modulation depth expressed as a percentage indicates the amplitude variation degree. AM modulation depth varies from
1% to 120%. Press AM Depth to set the parameter.

• In the 0% modulation, the output amplitude is the half of the carrier’s amplitude.

• In the 120 modulation, the output amplitude is the same with the carrier’s amplitude.

Burst Function

The Burst function can generate versatile waveforms in n this mode. Burst times can last a specic number of waveform
cycles (N-Cycle mode), or when an external gated signals (Gated mode) is applied. Any waveform (except DC) may be
used as the carrier, but noise can only be used in Gated mode.

11.1 Burst Type

4060B Series provides three burst types including N-Cycle, Innite and Gated.
The default is N-Cycle.

Burst Type Trigger Source Carrier

N-Cycle Internal/External/ Manual Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse, Arbitrary.

Innite External/Manual Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse, Arbitrary.

• Channel coupling is only available when both the waveforms of the two channels are basic waveforms including Sine,

Square, Ramp and Arbitrary.

• When the Phase Coupling function is enabled, if the phase of one channel is changed, the phase of the other channel
will be changed accordingly. At this point, aligning phase between the two channels can be achieved without executing
the Eqphase operation.

• Channel coupling and channel function are mutually exclusive. When channel coupling is enabled, the menu Channel
Copy is hidden.

13.24 Channel Tracking

When the track function is enabled, by changing the parameters or states of CH1, the corresponding parameters or states
of CH2 will be adjusted to the same values or states automatically. At this point, the dual channels can output the same
signal.
Choose Utility → CH Copy Coupling → Track to enable or disable the track function. When the track function is enabled,
channel copy and coupling functions are disabled; the user interface is switched to CH1 and cannot be switched to CH2,
as shown in the following gure.

Output Synchronization

The generator provides Sync output through the [Aux In/Out] connector on the rear panel. When the synchronization is
on, the port can output a CMOS signal with the same frequency as basic waveforms (except Noise and DC), arbitrary
waveforms, and modulated waveforms (except external modulation).

Function Description

Cancel Give up the current settings and return to the Utility menu.

Figure 14.1 Sync Output Interface

14.1 Sync Signals of Dierent Waveforms

1. When the frequency of the waveform is less than or equal to 10MHz, the sync signal is a Pulse with 50ns pulse width

and the same frequency as the waveform.

2. When the frequency of the waveform is greater than 10MHz, there is no sync signal output.

3. Noise and DC: there is no sync signal output.

14.1.1 Modulated Waveform

• When internal modulation is selected, the sync signal is a Pulse with 50ns pulse width.

For AM, FM, PM and PWM, the frequency of the sync signal is the modulating frequency.
For ASK, FSK and PSK, the frequency of the sync signal is the key frequency.

• When external modulation is selected, there is no sync signal output, for the [Aux In/Out] connector on the rear panel

is used to input external modulating signal.

Clock Source

The 4060B Series provides an internal 10MHz clock source. It also can accept external clock source form the [10 MHz
In/Out] connector at the rear panel. It can also output the clock source from the [10 MHz In/Out] connector for other
devices.
Press Utility → Page 1/2 → Clock → Source to select “Internal” or “External”.
If “External” is selected, the instrument will detect whether a valid external clock signal is input from the [10MHz In/Out]
connector at the rear panel. If not, the prompt message “No external clock source!” would be displayed and the clock
source would be switched to “Internal”.

15.1 Sync methods for two or more instruments:

Connect the [10MHz In/Out] connector of generator A (using internal clock) to the [10MHz In/Out] connector of
generator B (using external clock) and set the output frequencies of A and B as a same value to realize synchronization.

15.2 Synchronization among multiple instruments

Divide the 10MHz clock source of a generator (using internal clock) into multiple channels, and then connect them to
the [10MHz In/Out] connectors of other generators (using External clock), and nally set the output frequencies of all
the generators as a same value to realize synchronization.
