[SOURce]:PULM Subsystem (Pulse 
Modulation)
This 
additional functionality 
provides pulse 
modulation of the 
RF 
output 
signal 
delivered to 
the 
load 
by an internal or external modulation 
signal. 
The 
INTernal selection 
accesses 
the internally generated 
modulation input while 
EXTernal selects 
the external 
pulse 
(rear panel connector) 
input.

This command  selects 
the polarity of the 
pulse 
modulation, 
regardless 
if the internal or external 
modulation 
source is 
used.

This command  sets 
the 
pulse 
period for the internally generated 
pulse 
modulation 
using 
the 
variables 
<value>. 
If the entered value for the 
pulse 
period 
is 
equal to or 
less 
than the value for the 
pulse

the 
pulse 
width 
changes 
to a value that 
is less 
than the 
pulse

pulse 
signal. 
This command  sets 
the 
pulse 
width for the internally- generated 
pulse 
modulation 
using 
the 
variable <num>. 
If the entered value for the 
pulse 
width 
is 
equal to or greater than the value for the pulse 
period, the 
pulse

changes 
to a value that 
is less
