204 Agilent X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference
Analog Modulation Commands
Amplitude Modulation Subsystem–Option UNT ([:SOURce])
NEGative The signal generator triggers an event when it detects a falling edge on the source
signal
*RST POS
Key Entry Int/Ext Trigger Polarity Neg Pos
:AM:MODE
Supported All Models with Option UNT
[:SOURce]:AM:MODE DEEP|NORMal
[:SOURce]:AM:MODE?
This command sets the amplitude modulation mode. DEEP provides an AM depth with greater
dynamic range. NORMal sets AM to standard operation.
Default DEEP
Key Entry AM Mode Normal Deep
Remarks The RF carrier is modulated when you have set the signal generator’s modulation
state to ON, see :MODulation[:STATe] command for more information.
Whenever amplitude modulation is enabled, the AM annunciator is turned on in
the display.
:AM[1]|2:SOURce
Supported All Models with Option UNT
[:SOURce]:AM[1]|2:SOURce FUNCtion[1]|FUNCtion2|SWEep|DUAL|NOISe[1]|NOISe2|EXT[1]|EXT2
[:SOURce]:AM[1]|2:SOURce?
This command sets the source to generate the amplitude modulation.
FUNCtion[1] Selects function generator 1 as the modulation source.
FUNCtion[2] Selects function generator 2 as the modulation source.
SWEep Selects the swept function generator as the modulation source.
DUAL Selects the dual function generator as the modulation source.
NOISe[1] Selects noise generator 1 as the modulation source.
NOISe2 Selects noise generator 2 as the modulation source.
EXT[1] Selects an externally applied signal as the modulation input. Connect the signal to
the EXT 1 connector.
EXT2 Selects an externally applied signal as the modulation input. Connect the signal to
the EXT 2 connector.
*RST FUNCtion[1]
Remarks A 1.0 V
p
input is required for calibrated AM depth settings.
