FM:INTernal:FREQuency {<frequency>|MINimum|MAXimum}
Specify the frequency of the modulating waveform. This applies only when the
modulating source is internal. The range is from 2 mHz to 20 kHz and the default
is 10 Hz.
FM:INTernal:FREQuency? [MINimum|MAXimum]
Query the modulating frequency in frequency modulation. The modulating
waveform frequency in hertz will be returned.
FM:DEViation {<peak deviation in hertz>|MINimum|MAXimum}
Specify the peak frequency deviation in hertz. This value represents the peak
variation in frequency of the modulated waveform from the carrier frequency.
The range is from 1µHz to 150 kHz for ramps, from 1µHz to 5.05 MHz for
arbitrary waveforms, from 1µHz to 12.55 MHz for square waveforms and from
1µHz to 25.05 MHz for sine waveforms and the default is 100 Hz. The minimum
value is 1 µHz, but the maximum value is calculated based on the frequency of
the carrier waveform as below:
Maximum deviation = carrier frequency
if the carrier frequency is less than Maximum frequency/2
Maximum deviation = Maximum frequency – carrier frequency
if the carrier frequency is greater than Maximum frequency/2
The frequency deviation must not be greater than the carrier frequency. If a
greater value is set to be the deviation, MODEL 645 waveform generator will
adjust it automatically to the maximum value allowed.
The sum of frequency deviation and the carrier frequency must not be greater
than the maximum frequency of the function used plus 100 kHz (50.1 MHz for
sine and 25.1 MHz for square, 300 kHz for ramp, and 10.1 MHz for arbitrary
waveforms). If a greater frequency deviation is specified, the waveform
generator will automatically adjust it to the maximum value allowed.
When an external source is selected, the carrier is modulated with an external
waveform. The frequency deviation is controlled by the ±5v signal on the rear
panel Modulation In connector. For instance, if a deviation of 100kHz is specified,
then a +5V signal level corresponds to a 100kHz increase in frequency. Lower
external signal levels produce less deviation and negative signal levels reduce
