Modulating Waveform Shape
The function generator will accept an internal modulating signal,
an external modulating signal, or both.
• Modulating waveform shape (internal source):
Sine, Square,
Triangle, Ramp, Noise, or Arbitrary waveform. The default is Sine.
• You can use the noise function as the modulating waveform.
However, you cannot use the noise function or dc volts as the
carrier waveform.
• Front-Panel Operation: After enabling
AM, press Recall Menu to go
directly to the
AM SHAPE command in the menu.
