Analog Modulation

Configuring the LF Output (Option UNT)

5.Press FM Off On.

You have set up the FM signal with a rate of 10 kHz and 75 kHz of deviation. The FM annunciator is activated indicating that you have enabled frequency modulation.

Configuring the Low Frequency Output

1.Press the LF Out hardkey.

2.Press LF Out Amplitude > 3 > Vp.

3.Press LF Out Off On.

You have configured the LF output signal for a 3 volt sine wave (default wave form) output which is frequency modulated using the Internal 1 Monitor source selection (default source).

To Configure the LF Output with a Function Generator Source

In this example, the function generator is the LF output source.

Configuring the Function Generator as the LF Output Source

1.Press Preset.

2.Press the LF Out hardkey.

3.Press LF Out Source > Function Generator 1.

Configuring the Waveform

1.Press LF Out Waveform > Swept-Sine.

2.Press LF Out Start Freq > 100 > Hz.

3.Press LF Out Stop Freq > 1 > kHz.

4.Press Return > Return.

This returns you to the top LF Output menu.

Configuring the Low Frequency Output

1.Press LF Out Amplitude > 3 > Vp.

This sets the LF output amplitude to 3 Vp.

2.Press LF Out Off On.

The LF output is now transmitting a signal using Function Generator 1 that is providing a 3 Vp swept- sine waveform. The waveform is sweeping from 100 Hz to 1 kHz.
