LF Gen Freq

Sets the frequency of the LF generator.

This setting affects all analog modulations which use the LF generator as the internal
modulation source.

Remote command:

[:SOURce]:LFOutput<ch>:FREQuency

on page 349

LF Gen Shape

Selects the waveform shape of the LF signal.

Note:

The installed hardware determines the available settings. Use the

Hardware

Config

dialog to check the hardware the instrument is equipped with.

For information on the required hardware revision, refer to the release notes.

Remote command:

[:SOURce]:LFOutput:SHAPe

on page 357

M Sensitivity

Displays the input sensitivity of the externally applied modulation signal at the MOD
EXT input in RAD/V.

The modulation deviation entered with

M Deviation

M Deviation" is achieved with 1

Volt (=U

peak

) of the input signal.

Note:

The input voltage must not exceed 1.1 V

otherwise modulation distortions

occur.

Remote command:

[:SOURce<hw>]:PM:SENSitivity?

on page 375

PhiM Ext Coupling

Selects the coupling mode ("AC" or "DC") for the external modulation signal.

Note:

Coupling for external feed via input MOD EXT can be set independently for all

modulations using the external modulation signal.

"AC"

Disconnects the DC voltage component and uses only the AC com-
ponent of the modulation signal.

"DC"

Uses the modulation signal with both components, AC and DC.

Remote command:
