The 4050 Series Dual Channel Function/Arbitrary
Waveform Generators are capable of generating
stable and precise sine, square, triangle, pulse,
and arbitrary waveforms. With easy-to-read color
displays and an intuitive user interface with
numeric keypad, these instruments offer plenty
of features including linear/logarithmic sweep,
built-in counter, extensive modulation and
triggering capabilities, a continuously variable DC
offset, and a high performance 14-bit, 125 MSa/s
arbitrary waveform generator. The main output
voltage can be varied from 0 to 10 Vpp into 50
ohms (up to 20 Vpp into open circuit) and the
secondary output can be varied from 0 to 3 Vpp
into 50 ohms (up to 6 Vpp into open circuit).
Easily create custom arbitrary waveforms using
the included waveform editing software or output
any of the 48 built-in predefined arbitrary
waveforms. Up to 10 user-defined 16 kpt
arbitrary waveforms can be saved to the
instrument. Additionally, the included LabVIEW™
drivers allow users to conveniently load and save
.CSV or text file data directly into the arb memory
without having to use waveform editing software.

Sine frequency range 1 µHz – 5 MHz 1 µHz – 10 MHz 1 µHz – 25 MHz 1 µHz – 50 MHz
Square frequency range 1 µHz – 5 MHz 1 µHz – 10 MHz 1 µHz – 25 MHz
Extensive modulation capabilities include
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).
The standard external 10 MHz reference clock
input allows the instrument to be synchronized
to an external 10 MHz source or another
generator. This feature is typically not found in
function generators at this price point.
Additionally, the phase of both output channels
can be conveniently synchronized with the push
of a button.
These versatile function/arbitrary waveform
generators are suitable for education and other
applications that require high signal fidelity, a
variety of modulation schemes, or arbitrary
waveform generation capabilities.
