Initial Function Settings

Each function (Modulate, Sweep, Burst, Save/Recall, Utility, and Help)
contains default settings when initially selected.

Specifically, the top three buttons are Waveform Signal Conditioning
buttons and apply Mod, Sweep, or Burst functions to the waveform you've
selected. Meanwhile, the lower three, Save/Recall, Utility, and Help, are
for various WaveStation tools and configurations along with some Help
information.

NOTE: See Combined Use of Waveform, Function, and Configuration Buttons (on
page 17)
.

Select a function by pressing the corresponding function button on the
Front Panel.

Waveform Signal Conditioning Buttons

Modulate - Press the Mod button and the modulated waveforms you've
created using the WaveStation are generated. Waveforms are
modulated using AM, FM, ASK, FSK, and PM.

NOTE: Sine, Square, Ramp, or Arb waveforms may be modulated, while Pulse,
Noise, and DC cannot.

Sweep - Press the Sweep button and the WaveStation produces a signal
with variable frequencies.

NOTE: Sine, Square, Ramp, or Arb waveforms may be swept, while Pulse, Noise,
and DC cannot.

Burst - Press the Burst button and the waveforms you've created using
the WaveStation are generated for either N-Cycle Burst (a specified
number of waveform cycles) or Gated Burst (controlled by an external
gated signal).

NOTE: Sine, Square, Ramp, or Arb waveforms may be set to an N-Cycle Burst,
while Noise is the only waveform type available for a Gated Burst.
