:AM:MODE
Supported Option UNT
[:SOURce]:AM:MODE DEEP|NORMal
[:SOURce]:AM:MODE?
Sets the mode for amplitude modulation.
DEEP Enables amplitude modulation depth with a greater dynamic range than normal
mode which utilizes the ALC. DEEP has no specified parameters and emulates the
amplitude modulation NORMal mode with the ALC disabled.
DEEP is limited to repetitive AM and will not work with a dc modulation signal.
NORMal Maintains the amplitude modulation standard behavior and has specified
parameters as outlined in the data sheet.
The ALC is disabled when the carrier amplitude is less than –10 dBm and DEEP is the AM
mode.
Example
:AM:MODE NORM
The example selects the normal mode for amplitude modulation.
*RST NORM
:AM:WIDeband:SENSitivity
Supported N8212A only
[:SOURce]:AM:WIDeband:SENSitivity <val>
[:SOURce]:AM:WIDeband:SENSitivity?
Sets the sensitivity level of the wideband AM signal in units of dB/volt. Sensitivity is .5V =
100% and is linear with .25V = 50%. Wideband AM uses input from the front panel I INPUT.
Example
:AM:WID:SENS 20
The example sets the sensitivity level to 20%.
*RST +2.00000000E+001
Range 0 – 40 dB
