Features And Functions - Agilent Technologies 33120A User Manual

Features and Functions

You will find that this chapter makes it easy to look up all the details
about a particular feature of the function generator. Whether you are
operating the function generator from the front panel or over the remote
interface, this chapter will be useful. This chapter is divided into the
following sections:
œ Output Configuration, starting on page 55
œ Amplitude Modulation (AM), starting on page 71
œ Frequency Modulation (FM), starting on page 76
œ Burst Modulation, starting on page 81
œ Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) Modulation, starting on page 90
œ Frequency Sweep, starting on page 94
œ Triggering, starting on page 98
œ Arbitrary Waveforms, starting on page 103
œ System-Related Operations, starting on page 109
œ Remote Interface Configuration, starting on page 114
œ Calibration Overview, starting on page 118
œ Power-On and Reset State, on page 123
Some knowledge of the front-panel menu will be helpful before you read
this chapter. If you have not already read chapter 2, "Front-Panel Menu
Operation," starting on page 29, you may want to read it now. Chapter 4,
"Remote Interface Reference," starting on page 125, lists the syntax for
the commands available to program the function generator.
