Modulation
In this Run Mode, it is possible to modulate a carrier waveform with a modulation law that can be
another waveform or an external signal. All waveforms except Noise and DC level support the
Modulation Run Mode.
Touching the "Mod. Type" button the modulation type menu opens as shown in the picture below.
With the button Hide Profile you can view and hide the waveform modulation profile on the graph
The modulation types are:
•
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
•
Frequency Modulation (FM)
•
Phase Modulation (PM)
•
Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)
•
Phase Shift Keying (PSK)
•
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
The PWM modulation is the only modulation supported by the Pulse waveform.
The types of modulation are explained in detail in the following sections of this chapter.
