Subsystem RFGenerator:MODulation (Frequency Modulation)
The subsystem RFGenerator:MODulation determines the frequency modulation of the internal RF gen-
erator. It corresponds to the Modulation settings in the Generator tab of the Connection Control menu.

Command description
This command determines the modulation of the RF output signal. In the SSB mode, the frequency of the RF
output signal is shifted by the frequency defined via CONF:RFG:MOD:SSB:FREQ. In the AM mode, the signal is
modulated with the frequency defined via CONF:RFG:MOD:SSB:FREQ and with the modulation index defined via
CONF:RFG:MOD[:AM]:IND; see below.

Command description
This command generates an AF frequency which defines either a frequency offset (if SOUR:RFG:MOD is set to
SSB) or an AM modulation frequency (if SOUR:RFG:MOD is set to AM). A frequency offset can be either positive or
negative; modulation frequencies must be positive.

Command description
This command defines the modulation index for AM modulation, i.e. the amplitude ration between the modulating
AM signal to the RF carrier signal in percent.
