AM (Amplitude Modulation)

The modulated waveform consists of two parts: the Carrier Waveform and the
Modulating Waveform. The Carrier Waveform can only be Sine. In AM, the amplitude of
the Carrier Waveform varies with the instantaneous voltage of the modulating waveform.
The user interface of the AM is shown as below.

How to set the parameters of AM

(1)

Press Mod function button, then press F1 to select Mod.

(2)

Press F1 to switch Mod Type to AM. If the Carrier Waveform is not Sine, the
system will switch it to Sine automatically.

(3)

Press

button to display the waveform and parameters of the Carrier

Waveform. You can change the parameters, please refer to To Output Sine Signals on
page 12. Press

button again to return to the Modulation mode interface.

(4)

Press F5 to select the source. If the source is External, use the Ext Mod In
connector in the rear panel to input the external signal, the setting of AM is finished.
If you choose Internal, continue to the steps below.

(5)

Press F2 to choose Mod Shape, you can choose Sine, Square or Ramp.

(6)

Press F3 to set AM Frequency. The range is 2 mHz - 20 kHz (Internal source only).

(7)

Press F4 to set Mod Depth. The range is 0% - 100%.
