[:SOURce[<n>]][:MOD]:PWM:SOURce
Syntax [:SOURce[<n>]][:MOD]:PWM:SOURce {INTernal|EXTernal}
[:SOURce[<n>]][:MOD]:PWM:SOURce?
Description Set the PWM modulation source of the specified channel to internal (INTernal) or
external (EXTernal) modulation source.
Query the PWM modulation source of the specified channel.
Parameter Name Type Range Default
[<n>] Discrete 1|2 1
{INTernal|EXTernal} Discrete INTernal|EXTernal INTernal
Explanation  DG1000Z can receive the modulation waveform from the internal or external
modulation source.
 When internal modulation source is selected, the modulation waveform can be
SINusoid, SQUare, TRIangle, RAMP, NRAMp, NOISe or USER and the default is
SINusoid. NOISe can be used as modulation waveform but cannot be used as
carrier waveform.
 When external modulation source is selected, the signal generator receives the
external modulating signal from the corresponding [Mod/Trig/FSK/Sync]
connector at the rear panel. At this point, the width deviation
( [:SOURce[<n>]][:MOD]:PWM[:DEViation][:WIDTh] ) or duty cycle deviation
( [:SOURce[<n>]][:MOD]:PWM[:DEViation]:DCYCle ) of the modulated waveform
is controlled by the ±5 V signal level of the connector. For example, if the width
deviation is set to 10s, +5V signal level corresponds to a 10s width variation.
 When [:SOURce[<n>]] or [<n>] is omitted, the system sets the related
parameters of CH1 by default.
Return Format The query returns INT or EXT.
Example :SOUR1:PWM:SOUR EXT /*Set the PWM modulation source of CH1 to external
modulation source*/
:SOUR1:PWM:SOUR? /*Query the PWM modulation source of CH1 and the
query returns EXT*/
