Internal Source
When internal modulation source is selected, press
Shape
to select Sine, Square, Ramp, Noise
or Arb as modulating waveform. The default is Sine.
Sine waveform
Square: 50% duty cycle
Ramp: 50% symmetry.
Note: Noise can be used as modulating waveform but cannot be used as carrier waveform.
External Source
With the External source, an external waveform modulates the carrier waveform. The modulation
amplitude (AM) is controlled by the ±2.5V signal level on the front-panel
[Sync/Mod/Trig]
connector.
Other Channel
Other channel: CH1 and CH2 can be used as modulation sources reciprocally. When CH1 is used
as the modulated wave, CH2 can be used as the modulation source. And vice versa.
5.1.5 Modulating Waveform Frequency
When internal modulation source is selected, press
Frequency
to set the modulating waveform
frequency.
Input the desired frequency value using the numeric keyboard or direction keys and knob.
The modulating waveform frequency ranges from 2mHz to 50kHz, and the default value is
100Hz.
Note: This menu will be grayed out and disabled when other modulation sources except the
internal modulation source are selected.
5.1.6 Modulation Depth
The modulation depth is a percentage that represents the amplitude variation.
