[:SOURce]:AM[1]|2:SOURce?
Selects the source for amplitude modulation.
INT Selects internal source 1 or 2 to provide an ac–coupled signal.
EXT Selects the EXT 1 INPUT or the EXT 2 INPUT connector to provide an externally
applied signal that can be ac- or dc-coupled. The externally applied, ac-coupled input signal
is tested for a voltage level and an annunciator, on the N8211A/N8212A’s front-panel
display, will indicate a high or low condition if that voltage is > ±3% of 1 V

Example
:AM2:SOUR INT1
The example selects internal source 1 as the source for AM path 2.
*RST INT
:AM[1]|2:STATe
Supported Option UNT
[:SOURce]:AM[1]|2:STATe ON|OFF|1|0
[:SOURce]:AM[1]|2:STATe?
Enables or disables amplitude modulation for the selected path.
The RF carrier is modulated when you have set the modulation state to ON, see
“:MODulation[:STATe]" on page 196 for more information.
The two paths for amplitude modulation can be simultaneously enabled. Refer to
“:AM[1]|2" on page 272 for more information.
Example
:AM1:STAT ON
The example turns on AM modulation for AM path 1.
