Internal amplitude modulation (AM) commands
Command
Description & Reply
[:SOURce]:AM:STATe?
Requests the state of the amplitude modulation
For example: ‘:AM:STATE OFF’
[:SOURce]:AM:STATe<space><value>
Sets the amplitude modulation ON or OFF
<value> = ON
<value> = OFF
[:SOURce]:AM:INTernal:FREQuency?
Requests the amplitude modulation frequency (in Hz)
For example: ‘:AM:INT:FREQ 1000’
[:SOURce]:AM:INTernal:FREQuency
<space><value>
Sets the amplitude modulation frequency
<value> = frequency (in Hz),
for example: 1000
<value> = UP
<value> = Down
[:SOURce]:AM:INTernal:FREQuency:
STEP?
Requests the step size of the amplitude modulation frequency
For example: ‘:AM:INT:FREQ:STEP 10’
[:SOURce]:AM:INTernal:FREQuency:
STEP<space><value>
Sets the step size of the amplitude modulation frequency
<value> = step size (in Hz), for example: 10
[:SOURce]:AM:INTernal:FREQuency:
MINimum?
Requests the minimum amplitude modulation frequency
For example: ‘:AM:INT:FREQ:MIN 1’
[:SOURce]:AM:INTernal:FREQuency:
MAXimum?
Requests the maximum amplitude modulation frequency
For example: ‘:AM:INT:FREQ:MAX 100000’
[:SOURce]:AM:INTernal:FREQuency:
STEP:MINimum?
Requests the minimum step size of the amplitude modulation
frequency
For example: ‘:AM:INT:FREQ:STEP:MIN 1’
[:SOURce]:AM:INTernal:FREQuency:
STEP:MAXimum?
Requests the maximum step size of the amplitude modulation
frequency

for example: ‘:AM:DEPTH 80.0’
[:SOURce]:AM:[DEPTh]<space><value>
Sets the amplitude modulation depth
from 0 to 100%
<value> = percentage (in %),
for example: 0, 40 or 54,3
[:SOURce]:AM:[DEPTh]:MINimum?
Requests the minimum amplitude modulation depth
