AM (Amplitude Modulation)
• AM becomes the active function.
• AM1 and AM2 depth values are coupled with [:SOURce]:AM[1]|2[:DEPTh]:TRACk ON.
• If AM was already on, or no modulation was on, the following sequences of SCPI
commands are implemented when an AM command is sent with a modulation source
command:
• If FM or pulse modulation was already on, the signal generator attempts to set up AM
with the same settings. In addition, the following commands are mapped:
