Immediate
This softkey is one of the choices in the
Φ
M Sweep Trigger menu.
Choosing
Immediate immediately triggers swept-sine phase modulation
in a continuous mode. To stop the sweep, choose a different trigger such
as
Ext, or set the waveform to something other than Swept-Sine.

Internal
This softkey lets you internally generate an AC-coupled, phase
modulation signal.
The internal source has multiple uses but can be used for only one
modulation at a time. If, for example, you were using the internal
source in an amplitude modulation configuration for
AM Path 1, and then
you configured
ΦMPath2 to also use the internal source, the signal
generator would turn off
AM Path 1 and assign the internal source to your
ΦMPath2 configuration.

Noise
This softkey lets you specify noise as the phase modulation waveform
for the
ΦMPath1 and ΦMPath2 configurations. Notice that the selected
waveform applies only to whichever
Φ
M path configuration you have
currently selected.

Sine
This softkey lets you specify sine as the phase modulation waveform for
the
ΦMPath1 and ΦMPath2 configurations. Notice that the selected
waveform applies only to whichever ΦM path configuration you have
currently selected.
