1.  Select the Carrier Waveform 
Press Setup1 to enter the waveform setting interface. Press Wave to select the 
desired carrier. 
Note: When “Pulse”, “DC” or “Noise” is selected, the modulation menu will be 
hidden automatically. 
2.  Set the Carrier Parameters 
After selecting the desired carrier, you can refer to the introduction in 
“Parameter Setting Method” to set the carrier parameters (frequency, 
amplitude, etc). 
3.  Select the Modulating Waveform 
Press Modulation to open the source 1 modulation setting menu. Press Shape 
to select the desired modulating waveform, including sine, square, ramp 
waveform or noise. 
 
4.  Set the Modulation Frequency
