Amplitude modulation
These commands enable you to select amplitude modulation either as a single modulation or as the
sum of two signals, to set the AM depth as a percentage, and to switch the modulation on and off.
You can set the modulation oscillator frequency and select between sine, triangle and square
waveforms. Also the phase difference of modulation oscillator channel 2 relative to channel 1 can
be offset in degrees to a resolution of 0.1°. Both modulation depth and modulation oscillator
frequency can have their step sizes set and then be stepped up or down. And after having adjusted
the modulation depth or the modulation oscillator frequency you can either return to the reference
(depth or frequency) or make the current value the new reference.
