AM Tone 2 Ampl Percent Of Peak
For example, if the Tone 2 amplitude is 0%, then there would be no
amplitude for Tone 2; all of the signal strength would be present in Tone
1. If
AM Tone 2 Ampl Percent Of Peak is set to 50%, then Tone 2 and Tone 1
would have equal amplitudes, or half of the amplitude of both tones
combined.
Default Value: 50.0%

AM Tone 2 Rate
Press this softkey to set the internal modulation frequency for the AM
tone 2. Enter the desired rate using the up and down arrow keys, the
front panel knob, or enter a value using the numeric keypad and press
the
kHz or Hz terminator softkey. The range of values allowed is 0.1 Hz
through 50 kHz. The minimum increment allowed is 0.1 Hz.
This softkey is coupled to the
AM Rate softkey in the initial AM Menu
and the
AM Stop Rate softkey in the AM Swept-Sine Menu. Any value set
for
AM Tone 2 Rate is reflected in the AM Rate and AM Stop Rate softkeys.
Conversely, if you change the value for either the
AM Rate softkey or the
AM Stop Rate softkey, the value for AM Tone 2 Rate is changed to match.
Default Value: 400.0 Hz

AM Waveform
Pressing this softkey reveals a menu of AM waveform choices for your
AM Path 1 and AM Path 2 configurations. Select from sine, triangle, square,
ramp, noise, dual-sine, and swept-sine waveforms. Notice that your
waveform selection applies only to whichever AM path configuration
you have currently selected.
Default Value: Sine

Bus
This softkey is one of the choices in the AM Sweep Trigger menu. With
Bus selected, you use the GPIB to trigger single sweeps of swept-sine
amplitude modulation.
