Amplitude Modulation (AM) Commands
4
AM:STATe {OFF|ON} 
AM:STATe?
Disable or enable AM. To avoid multiple waveform changes, you can 
enable AM after you have set up the other modulation parameters. 
The default is OFF. The :STAT? query returns “0” (OFF) or “1” (ON). 
• The function generator will allow only one modulation mode to be 
enabled at a time. For example, you cannot enable AM and FM at the 
same time. When you enable AM, the previous modulation mode is 
turned off. 
• The function generator will not allow AM to be enabled at the same 
time that sweep or burst is enabled. When you enable AM, the sweep 
or burst mode is turned off.
