To Set the Modulating Waveform Frequency 

 
When internal modulation source is selected, press 

PM_Freq to set the 

modulating waveform frequency. 

 

Input the desired frequency value using the numeric keyboard or direction 
keys and knob. 

 

The modulating waveform frequency ranges from 2mHz to 50kHz, and the 
default value is 100Hz.   

Note: This menu will be grayed out and disabled when external modulation source 
is selected. 
 

To Set the Phase Deviation 

 
Phase deviation is the deviation of the modulating waveform phase relative to the 
carrier waveform phase. Press 

Deviation to set the PM phase deviation. 

 

Use the numeric keyboard or direction keys and knob to input the desired 
phase value.   

 

The range of phase deviation is from 0º to 360º. 

 
When "Ext" modulation source is selected, the phase deviation is controlled by the 
±2.5V signal level at the

 [Mod/FSK/Trig] connector at the rear panel. For 

example, if the phase deviation is set to 180º, +2.5V signal level corresponds to a 
180º phase variation. The lower the external signal level, the less deviation would 
be generated.
