FM 
FM (Frequency Modulation), namely the frequency of the carrier waveform changes 
with that of the modulating waveform, as shown in the figure below. 
Figure 17-11 Frequency Modulation 
1.  Select the Modulating Waveform 
Press Waveform, and rotate the multifunction knob    to select the desired 
modulating waveform, and then press down the knob to select it. You can also 
press Waveform continuously or enable the touch screen to select it. The 
available modulating waveforms include Sine, Square, Triangle, and Noise. 
2.  Set the Modulation Frequency 
Press Frequency, then rotate the multifunction knob    or use the pop-up 
numeric keypad to set the frequency of the modulation signal. The available 
range is from 1 Hz to 50 kHz. 
3.  Set the Frequency Offset 
Press Deviation, then rotate the multifunction knob    or use the pop-up 
numeric keypad to set the frequency deviation of modulating waveform from the 
carrier frequency. The available range of the frequency deviation is from 0 Hz to 
the frequency of the current carrier waveform, and the sum of the frequency 
deviation and carrier frequency cannot be greater than the maximum frequency 
of the current carrier waveform. 
FSK 
FSK (Frequency-shift Keying) is a modulation method that uses the digital signal to 
control the carrier frequency changes. It is one of the modulation methods that have
