Φ
M Waveform
Pressing this softkey reveals a menu of
Φ
M waveform choices for your
ΦMPath1 and ΦMPath2 configurations. Select from sine, triangle, square,
ramp, noise, dual-sine, and swept-sine waveforms. Notice that your
waveform selection applies only to whichever
Φ
M path configuration
you have currently selected.
Default Value: Sine
Softkey Location:
FM/ΦM hardkey > FM ΦM softkey ΦM > ΦM Waveform
Bus
This softkey is one of the choices in the
Φ
M Sweep Trigger menu. With
Bus selected, you use the GPIB to trigger single sweeps of swept-sine
phase modulation.

DCFM/DC
Φ
M Cal
Pressing this softkey initiates a DC
Φ
M calibration. This calibration
eliminates the offset in DC phase modulation so that the carrier phase
remains the same with no modulation applied. External, DC-coupled
Φ
M must be active when this command is executed.
Softkey Location:
FM/ΦM hardkey > FM ΦM softkey ΦM > DCFM/DCΦMCal
Dual-Sine
Pressing this softkey reveals a menu of choices for setting the dual-sine
phase modulation parameters. In this menu you can set the
Φ
M rates
for two separate tones. In addition you can set a ratio of the tone 2
Φ
M
deviation to the tone 1
Φ
M deviation.

Dual-Sine
Ext
This softkey is one of the choices in the ΦM Sweep Trigger menu.
Choosing
Ext allows you to trigger swept-sine phase modulation using a
signal applied to the TRIGGER IN rear panel connector. Set the
polarity of the trigger signal using the
Trigger In Polarity Neg Pos softkey.
