1. Turn on AM modulation using the
SOURce[1]: AM:STAT ON command
2. Use the APPLy command to select a carrier
waveform. Alternatively the equivalent
FUNC, FREQ, AMPl, and DCOffs commands
can be used to create a carrier waveform with
a designated frequency, amplitude and offset.
3. Select an internal or external modulation
source using the SOURce[1]:AM:SOUR
command.
4. Use the SOURce[1]:AM:INT:FUNC command
to select a sine, square, upramp, dnramp or
triangle modulating waveshape. For internal
sources only.
5. Set the modulating frequency using the
SOURce[1]: AM:INT:FREQ command. For
internal sources only.
6. Set the modulation depth using the
SOURce[1]: AM:DEPT command.
