Pulse modulation
You can use these commands to switch the pulse modulation on and off when it is part of the modulation mode. When ON is selected the carrier is modulated by the logic level applied to the PULSE INPUT socket.
Pulse ON | Logic level between 3.5 and 5 V |
Pulse OFF | Logic level between 0 and 1.0 V |
Note: the :PULSE:ON and :PULSE:OFF commands are invalid when used with Option 11 (fast pulse). :PULSE? always returns :PULSE:ON when used with Option 11.
PULSE | [not used alone] | |
:ON | Turn Pulse modulation ON | |
:OFF | Turn Pulse modulation OFF | |
Data type : | None |
|
Allowed suffices : | None |
|
Default suffix : | None |
|
Examples: | PULSE:ON | |
| PULSE:OFF | |
PULSE? | Prepares message containing information on Pulse Modulation setting in | |
| the following format: | |
| :PULSE:<status> | |
| where: | <status> is a program mnemonic indicating whether the |
|
| pulse modulation is ON or OFF |
Examples: | :PULSE:ON | |
| :PULSE:OFF | |
Examples: | :PULSE:ON | |
| :PULSE:OFF |
To enable pulse modulation:
Select any modulation mode together with pulse: for example, :MODE AM,PULSE.
Turn pulse modulation on
Turn the AM off by sending :AM:OFF. This disables the AM but leaves pulse modulation enabled.
To disable pulse modulation:
Turn pulse modulation off
