REMOTE OPERATION OUTPUT COMMANDS
4-18
Why do we have the [SOURce][:MODulation]:<modn>:STATe and
OUTput:MODulation:<modn>[:STATe] commands?
The [SOURce][:MODulation]:<modn>:STATe command allows you to make individual sources
active to provide the overall modulation that you need.
For example, [SOURce][:MODulation]:AM:STATe corresponds to the
Int
AM1
1
soft box:
B5449
and provides SCPI-like control of modulation.
The OUTput:MODulation:<modn>[:STATe] command allows you to switch individual sources
on or off without affecting the modulation mode that you have created.
For example, OUTput:MODulation:AM[:STATe] corresponds to AM State in the AM1 sub-menu:
B5238
and has the same effect as the SOURCE ON/OFF key on the front panel.
