Hardkey and Softkey Reference
Phase Modulation
Ext
This softkey is one of the choices in the ΦM Sweep Trigger menu. Choosing Ext
allows you to trigger swept-sine phase modulation using a signal applied to the
TRIGGER IN rear panel connector. Set the polarity of the trigger signal using the
Trigger In Polarity Neg Pos softkey.
Softkey Location: Press
FM/ΦM hardkey, toggle FM/ΦM softkey to ΦM, press

Ext 1 AC-Coupled
This softkey lets you input an external, AC-coupled, phase modulation signal to
the EXT 1 INPUT connector. The modulation signal is tested for voltage and a
display annunciator will report a high or low condition if the voltage is >
±3% of
1Vpk.
The external 1 input has multiple uses but can be used for only one modulation at
a time. If, for example, you were using the external 1 input in an amplitude
modulation configuration for
AM Path 1, and then you configured ΦMPath2 to
also use the external 1 input, the signal generator would turn off
AM Path 1 and
assign the external 1 input to your
ΦMPath2 configuration. For the purposes of
this discussion, the external 1 AC-coupled input is the same as the external 1
DC-coupled source.
