Modulation of the pattern signal enables you to emulate real-world conditions.
AM – amplitude of the pattern signal is multiplied by the modulation signal to emulate
level distortions of the data signal e.g. sinusoidal interference.
FM – frequency of the pattern signal is modulated to emulate SSC on the data signal.
PM – the phase of the data bits is modulated to emulate jitter on the data signal.

Connectivity
There are several possibilities for fi lling the arbitrary memory. There are 6 built-in,
standard arbitrary waveforms, but you can also create any waveform you need, either on
the instrument or on a PC, using the Agilent 33503A BenchLink Waveform Builder Pro
software available for the 81150A and 81160A Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generators.
The 33503A software is being designed for waveform creation, waveform import from
Agilent scopes and waveform download to the 81150A and 81160A generators. Filling the arbitrary memory easily
