Immediate
This softkey is one of the choices in the AM Sweep Trigger menu. Choosing
Immediate immediately triggers swept-sine amplitude modulation in a continuous
mode. To stop the sweep, choose a different trigger such as
Ext, or set the
waveform to something other than
Swept-Sine.

Internal
This softkey lets you connect an internally-generated, calibrated signal to the AM
modulator. The default state of the internal waveform generator is a 400 Hz
sinewave with 0.1% depth.
The internal source has multiple uses but can be used for only one modulation at a
time. If, for example, you were using the internal source in a frequency
modulation configuration for
FM Path 1, and then you configured AM Path 2 to
also use the internal source, the signal generator would turn off
FM Path 1 and
assign the internal source to your
AM Path 2 configuration.
