ASK Rate

The ASK rate is the rate at which the output amplitude
“shifts” between two preset amplitudes. The range of the
ASK rate is 2 mHz to 100 kHz. The default ASK rate value is
10 Hz
.

Soft Front Panel Operation

On the ASK Rate panel as shown in

Figure 2- 26

, input the

desired ASK rate value and select the unit from the drop
down list.

Remote Interface Operation

ASKey:INTernal:RATE

Generate ASK Modulation Using SCPI Commands

Example 1

-> *CLS

; *RST

//To reset the U2761A to

default power

-on state, this

command can be ignored if
this operation is not
required.

-> ASK:STAT ON

//Enables ASK modulation.

-> FUNC SIN

//Sets the carrier waveform to

Sine wave.

-> FREQ 1000

//Sets the carrier frequency to

1 kHz.

-> VOLT 5 VPP

//Sets the output amplitude to

5 Vpp.

-> VOLT:OFFS 0

//Sets the output offset to 0.

-> ASK:INT:RATE 10

//Sets the ASK rate to

10 Hz.

-> OUTP ON

//Turns on output.
