When you turn the unit on, the signal is continuous (unmodulated) by
default. When you switch wavelengths, the modulation remains the same.
Modulation is indicated in the Source pane.
Available values are: Continuous, 270 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 270 Hz blink, 1 kHz
blink, or 2 kHz blink.
To change the signal modulation:
1. Activate the source if you want.
2. Press Modulation (F1/F2 key) to switch
between available modulations.
