B.3 Command Reference
-- A to F --

AM:INTernal
:FUNCtion{SINusoid|SQUare|RAMP|NRAMP|TRIangle|NOISe|USER}
Specify the modulating waveform for the modulation. This applies only when the
modulating source is internal. Noise can be a modulating waveform, but cannot
be used as a carrier waveform, neither do Pulse nor dc. The default modulating
waveform is a sine waveform.
AM:INTernal
:FUNCtion?
Query the modulating function in amplitude modulation. “SIN”, “SQU”, “RAMP”,
“NRAM”, “TRI”, “NOIS” or ”USER” string indicating the modulating function will
be returned.
-- Square waveform has 50% duty cycle.
--Ramp waveform has 100% symmetry
--Triangle waveform has 50% symmetry.
--Negative Ramp waveform has 0% symmetry.
--If an Arbitrary(USER) waveform is chosen to be the modulating waveform, it is
