Wave Gen Key -> Modulation Softkey help informationPress this softkey to activate the Waveform Generator Modulation Menu.Modulation is where an original carrier waveform is modified according to the amplitude of a second modulation waveform.The modulation type (AM, FM, PM, or PWM) specifies how the carrier waveform is modified.
Wave Gen Key -> Modulation -> Modulation On/Off Softkey help informationTurn on or off modulated waveform generator output.
Wave Gen Key -> Modulation -> Type Softkey help informationSelect the modulation type.AM (Amplitude Modulation) - the amplitude of the carrier wave is changed according to the amplitude of the modulating signal.FM (Frequency Modulation) - the frequency of the carrier wave is changed in line with the amplitude of the modulating signal.PM (Phase Modulation) - the phase of the carrier wave is changed according to the amplitude of the modulating signal.PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) - the width of the pulse of the carrier wave is changed in line with the modulating signal.
Wave Gen Key -> Modulation -> Waveform Softkey help informationSwitch the shape of the modulating waveform among Sine, Square, and Ramp.
Wave Gen Key -> Modulation -> Frequency Softkey help informationPress this softkey to toggle between Frequency and Frequency Fine adjustment, and use the V0 knob to adjust the frequency of the modulating waveform.
Wave Gen Key -> Modulation -> Depth/Deviation Softkey help informationPress this softkey to toggle between Depth (Deviation) and Depth Fine (Deviation Fine) adjustment, and use the V0 knob to specify.
In AM schemes, the modulation depth refers to the amplitude ratio of the modulating signal to the carrier signal. At 0% depth, the amplitude is one-half of the carrier’s amplitude setting. At 100% depth, the amplitude varies according to the modulating waveform, from 0% to 100% of the carrier’s amplitude. AM depth range: 0% to 120%.
In FM schemes, the frequency deviation setting represents the peak variation in frequency of the modulated waveform from the carrier frequency.The carrier frequency must always be greater than or equal to the frequency deviation. The carrier frequency plus the deviation cannot exceed the selected function's maximum frequency plus 100 kHz.
In PM schemes, the phase deviation setting represents the peak variation in phase of the modulated waveform from the carrier waveform. The phase deviation can be set from 0 to 350 degrees.
Wave Gen Key -> Modulation -> Return Softkey help informationPress this softkey to return to the previous menu.
Wave Gen Key -> Burst Softkey help informationTo open the Waveform Generator Burst Menu.Burst allows a specific number of waveforms to be output before outputting zero.
Wave Gen Key -> Burst -> Burst On/Off Softkey help informationThe device can output a waveform for a specified number of cycles, called a burst. Press this softkey to turn on or off burst waveform generator output.
Wave Gen Key -> Burst -> Count Softkey help informationSet the number of cycles (1 to 2,000,000,000) to be output per burst. Burst count can be used in the triggered burst mode only.
Wave Gen Key -> Burst -> Source Softkey help informationSelect the burst trigger source from manual, Pass/Fail and DSO Trigger.Manual - The device outputs a waveform of the specified number of cycles (burst count) when a trigger is received by pressing the Trigger softkey. After the specified number of cycles has been output, the device stops and waits for the next trigger.Pass/Fail - the device initiates one burst each time a pass/fail trigger is received. When do pass/fail test, turn on output, and select output to DDS, the corresponding waveform generator source will switch to Pass/Fail Trigger Source automatically, and the default count is 1.DSO Trigger - The device outputs one burst of the specified number of cycles each time the oscilloscope waveform triggered.
