76 Agilent N5161A/62A/81A/82A/83A MXG Signal Generators User’s Guide
Using Analog Modulation (Option UNT Only)
The Basic Procedure
The Basic Procedure
1. Preset the signal generator.
2. Set the carrier (RF) frequency.
3. Set the RF amplitude.
4. Configure the modulation:
5. Turn on the modulation:
The appropriate modulation annunciator displays, indicating that you enabled modulation.
6. Turn on the RF output.
The RF output LED lights, indicating that the signal is transmitting from the RF output connector.
If the modulation does not seem to be working properly, refer to “No Modulation at the RF Output”
on page 308.
