Remarks The RF carrier is modulated when you have set the signal generator’s modulation
state to ON, see “:MODulation[:STATe]” on page 89 for more information.
Whenever amplitude modulation is enabled, the AM annunciator is turned on in
the display.
:AM:TYPE
Supported All Models with Option UNT
[:SOURce]:AM:TYPE LINear|EXPonential
[:SOURce]:AM:TYPE?
This command enables LINear or EXPonential amplitude modulation.
The units effected are the AM Depth settings.
LIN This choice selects linear (percent/volt) AM.
EXP This choice selects exponential (db/volt).
