AM Overview
The following is an overview of the steps required to generate an AM waveform.
The commands used for AM are listed on the next page.
1 Configure the carrier waveform.
2 Select the mod ulation source.
3 Select the shape of the mod ulating waveform.
4 Set the mod ulating frequency.
5 Set the mod ulation depth.
6 Enable AM mod ulation.

"Amplitude Modulation (AM)"
Use the APPLy command or the equivalent FUNC, FREQ, VOLT, and VOLT:OFFS
commands to select the function, frequency, amplitude, and offset of the
carrier waveform. You can select a sine or square waveform for the carrier
(ramp, pulse, noise, dc, and arbitrary are not allowed).
The function generator will accept an internal or external modulation source.
Select the modulation source using the AM:SOUR command. For an external
source, you can skip steps 3 and 4 below.
You can modulate the carrier with a sine, square, ramp, noise, or arbitrary
waveform (pulse and dc are not allowed). Use the AM:INT:FUNC command to
select the modulating waveshape.
Set the modulating frequency to any value from 2 mHz to 20 kHz using the
AM:INT:FREQ command.
Set the modulation depth (also called "percent modulation") to any value from
0% to 120% using the AM:DEPT command.
After you have set up the other modulation parameters, use the
AM:STAT ON command to enable AM.
