[:SOURce[<n>]]:MOD[:STATe]
Syntax [:SOURce[<n>]]:MOD[:STATe] <bool>
[:SOURce[<n>]]:MOD[:STATe]?
Description Enable or disable the modulation of the specified source channel, or query the status
of the modulation of the specified source channel.
Parameter

Range
Default
[<n>] Discrete {1|2}
If omitted, the operation is
performed on source 1 by default
<bool>
Bool
{{1|ON}|{0|OFF}}
0|OFF
Explanation  The signal source of DS1000Z provides two types of modulations (Amplitude
Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM)) which can be selected by
sending the
[:SOURce[<n>]]:MOD:TYPe command.
 Sine, Square, Ramp, Built-in waveforms or Arb waveform (except DC) can be used
as the carrier waveform.
 You can use the
[:SOURce[<n>]]:MOD:AM:INTernal:FUNCtion or
[:SOURce[<n>]]:MOD:FM:INTernal:FUNCtion command to selelct Sine, Square,
Ramp or Noise as the modulating waveform.
Return Format
The query returns OFF or ON.
Example
:MOD ON

AM
Explanation  AM: amplitude modulation. The amplitude of the carrier waveform varies with the
amplitude of the modulating waveform.
FM: frequency modulation. The frequency of the carrier waveform varies with the
amplitude of the modulating waveform.
 Sine, Square, Ramp, Built-in waveforms or Arb waveform (except DC) can be used
as the carrier waveform.
 You can use the
[:SOURce[<n>]]:MOD:AM:INTernal:FUNCtion or
[:SOURce[<n>]]:MOD:FM:INTernal:FUNCtion command to selelct Sine, Square,
Ramp or Noise as the modulating waveform.
Return Format
The query returns AM or FM.
Example
:MOD:TYPe AM
