Chapter 3 Features and Functions
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
Carrier Waveform Shape
• AM carrier shape: Sine , Square, Triangle, Ramp, or Arbitrary
waveform. The default is Sine.
• You cannot use the noise function or dc volts as the carrier waveform.
• Front-Panel Operation: Press any of the front-panel function keys
except
. For arbitrary waveforms, the
Noise
waveform that is currently downloaded.
• Remote Interface Operation:
FUNCtion:SHAPe {SINusoid|SQUare|TRIangle|RAMP|USER}
You can also use the APPLy command to select the function,
frequency, amplitude, and offset with a single command.
Carrier Frequency
• Carrier frequency: 100
The default is 1 kHz.
• For arbitrary waveforms, the maximum carrier frequency depends on
the number of points specified in the waveform. The five built-in
arbitrary waveforms can be output at a maximum of 5 MHz.
