Chapter 5 Modulated Waveform Output   RIGOL 
DG4000 User's Guide 
After the carrier waveform is selected, you can press Freq/Period to highlight 
"Freq", and then use the numeric keyboard or direction keys and knob to input the 
desired frequency value. 
 
 
To Select the Modulating Waveform Source 
 
DG4000 can receive modulating waveform from internal or external modulation 
source. Press Mod  Source to select "Int" or "Ext" modulation source. 
 
1.  Internal Source 
When internal modulation source is selected, press Shape to select Sine, 
Square, Triangle, UpRamp, DnRamp, Noise or Arb as modulating waveform. 
The default is Sine. 
  Square: 50% duty cycle. 
  Triangle: 50% symmetry. 
  UpRamp: 100% symmetry. 
  DnRamp: 0% symmetry. 
  Arb: when arbitrary waveform is selected as modulating waveform, the 
generator would limit the waveform length to 2kpts automatically.  
Note: Noise can be used as modulating waveform but cannot be used as 
carrier waveform.  
 
2.  External Source 
When external modulation source is selected, the Shape menu will be grayed 
out and disabled. The generator receives the external modulating signal from 
the [Mod/FSK/Trig] connector at the rear panel. The frequency deviation is 
controlled by the ±2.5 V signal level of the connector.
