Generating Modulated Waveforms
Overview
Specific waveform types may be modulated (as carrier waveforms) using
the WaveStation. Sine, Square, Ramp, or Arb waveforms may be
modulated, while Pulse, Noise, and DC cannot.
The first step in creating your modulated waveform is to press the Mod
Function button on the Front Panel. Then, select a modulated waveform
type from the AM (Amplitude Modulation), FM (Frequency Modulation),
ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying Modulation), FSK (Frequency Shift Keying
Modulation), PM (Phase Modulation), and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
choices on the Mod operation menu.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
See Combined Use of Waveform, Function, and Configuration Buttons
Default values for many controls can be set using certain options
available on the Utility menu. Learn more in Main Utility Operations (on
page 52).
This section covers details around creating modulated waveforms and
making specific adjustment/selection parameter choices - all of which vary
based on the specific function and carrier waveform selection made.
For more information on getting to this point, see Navigating Interfaces,
Adjusting Parameters, and Making Selections (on page 11).
