AFG
Syntax:
AFG:MODULation:TYPe {NONe|AM|FM}
AFG:MODULation:TYPe?
Arguments:
NONe - Value set and returned when AFG:RUNMode is not set to MODUlation.
AM - Amplitude Modulation
FM - Frequency Modulation
Examples:
AFG:MODULation:TYPe AM sets the modulation type to Amplitude Modulation.

Group:
AFG
Syntax:
AFG:RUNMode {CONtinuous|MODUlation|BURst}
AFG:RUNMode?
Arguments:
CONtinuous - Continuous run mode.
MODUlation -M
odulation run mode specified by AFG:MODUlation:TYPE
.
BURst - Burst mode. Also sets AFG:TRIGger:MODe to BURst.
Examples:
AFG:RUNMode CONtinuous sets the run mode to continuous output.
An existing AFG waveform can be 100% amplitude modulated with a 10 kHz
square wave using the following sequence of commands:
