Carrier signal level -30 dBm
AF frequency 100 kHz
Modulation depth 50 %
Marker 1 and then delta marker 2 are set to the largest maximum points on the trace.
The frequency and level are then read. In the following measurements, the instru-
ment's default setting can be used for measurements (SetupInstrument).
