amount of amplitude modulation.
AM Depth refers to the portion of the amplitude range that will be used
by the modulation. For example, a depth setting of 80% causes the
output amplitude to vary from 10% to 90% (90% – 10% = 80%) of the
original amplitude as the modulating signal goes from its minimum to
maximum amplitude.
