Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) 
When using ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying), you can configure the generator to "shift" 
its output amplitude between two preset amplitude values ("carrier amplitude" and 
"modulating amplitude"). 
To Select ASK Modulation 
When the Shift key is illuminated, press Home/Menu  Modulation  "ASK" to 
enable the ASK function. When Modulation is enabled, Sweep or Burst will be 
automatically disabled (if enabled currently). Tap the icon 
 at the upper-right 
corner of the interface (when Sine is selected as the carrier waveform) to view and 
set the parameters of the current carrier waveform. Tap the icon 
 at the 
upper-right corner of the interface again to go back to the current modulation 
parameter interface. 
To Select the Carrier Waveform 
ASK carrier waveform could be Sine, Square, Ramp, or Arbitrary waveform. The 
default is Sine. 
  When the Shift key is illuminated, press Home/Menu  Continuous to 
select the desired carrier waveform. Also, when the Shift key is not illuminated, 
you can directly press the corresponding waveform function key on the front 
panel to select the desired carrier waveform. 
  Pulse, Noise, Harmonic, Dual-tone, and DC could not be used as carrier 
waveform. 
To Set Carrier Waveform Parameters 
The different settings of various parameters (e.g. frequency, amplitude, offset, and 
start phase) of the carrier waveform will affect the output ASK modulated waveform. 
For different carrier waveform shapes, the ranges of the various parameters are 
different (the ranges are related to the instrument model that you are using and the 
currently selected carrier waveform). For all carrier waveform shapes, the default 
values are 1 kHz frequency, 5 Vpp amplitude, 0 Vdc offset, and 0° start phase. 
  When the carrier waveform currently selected is Sine, Square, or Ramp, please 
refer to descriptions in "To Output Basic Waveform" to set the parameters of 
the carrier waveform currently selected. 
  When the carrier waveform currently selected is arbitrary waveform, please 
refer to descriptions in "To Output the Arbitrary Waveform" to set the 
parameters of the carrier waveform currently selected.
