Features and Function
HDG2000 Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator
33
To avoid multiple waveform changes, enable modulation after configuring the other modulation
parameters.

Carrier Waveform Shape
AM or FM carrier shape: Sine (default), Square, Ramp, Pulse, Ramp, Noise or Arbitrary
waveform
.
You cannot use DC as the carrier waveform.
For FM, the carrier frequency must always be greater than or equal to the frequency deviation.
Attempting to set a deviation greater than the carrier frequency will cause the instrument to set
the deviation equal to the carrier frequency.
The carrier frequency plus the deviation cannot exceed the selected function's maximum
frequency plus 100 kHz.
Carrier Frequency
The maximum carrier frequency varies by function, as shown below. The default is 1 kHz for all
functions.
