Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) Commands
ASK Overview
The following is an overview of the steps required to generate an
ASK modulated waveform.

1. Turn on ASK modulation using the
SOURce[3RF]: ASK:STAT ON command.
2. Use the APPLy command to select a carrier
waveform. Alternatively, the FREQ, AMPl, and
DCOffs commands can be used to create a
carrier waveform with a designated frequency,
amplitude and offset.
3. Select an internal or external modulation source
using the SOURce[3RF]:ASK:MOD:INT
command.
4. Set the hop frequency using the
SOURce[3RF]:ASK:FREQ command.
5. Use the SOURce[3RF]: ASK:INT:RATE
command to set the ASK rate. The ASK rate can
only be set for internal sources.
Turn on or off the ASK modulation function of the
specified channel. Query the on/off status of the
ASK modulation function of the specified channel.
Burst or sweep mode will be disabled if ASK
modulation is enabled. As only one modulation is
allowed at any one time, other modulation modes
will be disabled when ASK modulation is enabled.
