Using the Internal Modulation
The internal modulating source is a square wave with a 50% duty-cycle.You can
set both the amplitude and the frequency of this signal. The amplitude is set by
the power parameter. This is the maximum output power of the output signal;
at the minimum, nothing is output.

Setting the Output Power of a Modulated Signal
You can set the output power of a modulated signal if the display looks like this:

The notes above about excessive power, and the analog output apply also to the
power of a modulated signal.
