Press adjacent Operation buttons and use the Digital Input Front Panel

Controls (on page 27) to make specific adjustment/selection parameter

choices. For more information on getting to this point, see Navigating

Interfaces, Adjusting Parameters, and Making Selections (on page 16).

ASK modulation represents digital data as variations in the amplitude of a

carrier wave. The amplitude of an analog carrier signal varies in

accordance with the bit stream (modulating signal), keeping frequency

and phase constant.

Mod → ASK Operation menu selections and parameters include Key

Freq, Type, and Source as follows:

 Key Freq - This parameter sets the frequency at which the output

amplitude shifts between the carrier amplitude and 0. The internal

source frequency range is 2 MHz to 50 kHz.

 Type - Amplitude Shift Keying Modulation.

 Source - Select Internal or External. If External is selected, use the

Trig/Gate/Fsk/Burst connector on the Back Panel (on page 14).
