:AM[1]|2:INTernal:FUNCtion:SHAPe?

This command allows you to assign an AM waveform to your

AM Path 1 and AM Path 2

configurations. Select from sine, triangle, square, ramp, noise, dual sine, and swept sine

waveforms. Notice that your waveform selection applies only to whichever AM path

configuration you have currently selected.

Using the command :AM[1]|2:INTernal[1]:FUNCtion:SHAPe SINE lets you specify sine as

the amplitude modulation waveform for the

AM Path 1 and AM Path 2 configurations. Notice

that the selected waveform applies only to whichever AM path configuration you have

currently selected.

Using the command :AM[1]|2:INTernal[1]:FUNCtion:SHAPe TRIangle lets you specify

triangle as the amplitude modulation waveform for the

AM Path 1 and AM Path 2

configurations. Notice that the selected waveform applies only to whichever AM path

configuration you have currently selected.

Using the command :AM[1]|2:INTernal[1]:FUNCtion:SHAPe SQUARe lets you specify

square as the amplitude modulation waveform for the

AM Path 1 and AM Path 2

configurations. Notice that the selected waveform applies only to whichever AM path

configuration you have currently selected.

Using the command :AM[1]|2:INTernal[1]:FUNCtion:SHAPe RAMP lets you specify ramp

as the amplitude modulation waveform for the

AM Path 1 and AM Path 2 configurations.

Notice that the selected waveform applies only to whichever AM path configuration you

have currently selected.

Using the command :AM[1]|2:INTernal[1]:FUNCtion:SHAPe NOISe lets you specify noise

as the amplitude modulation waveform for the

AM Path 1 and AM Path 2 configurations.

Notice that the selected waveform applies only to whichever AM path configuration you

have currently selected.

Using the command :AM[1]|2:INTernal[1]:FUNCtion:SHAPe DUALsine allows you to set

the dual sine as the amplitude modulation waveform for the

AM Path 1 and AM Path 2

configurations. In this mode you can set the AM rates for two separate tones. In addition,

you can set a percentage of the tone 2 AM depth to the total AM depth.
