CALL:WAVeform

Function

Sets/queries the type of test signals to be output to the currently selected front-panel RF connector while in CW operating mode. See CW Operating Mode for details.

The test signals include:

• CW generates an unmodulated continuous sine waveform signal.
• AM generates an amplitude modulated signal with 56% depth and 20 kHz modulation rate.
• DSB generates a dual side-band suppressed carrier signal with 20 kHz spacing between the two carriers.

When in CW operating mode, switching test signals requires a few seconds. A few seconds of delay is also encountered when changing operating modes if the current test signal is not CW.
