in the PEAK DEVIATION field of the main menu the peak deviation can be set directly from the
keyboard, in kHz or MHz, or changed using the rotary control or
Principles for further information on keyboard entries. With external modulation, the specified
peak deviation is achieved with a 1Vrms sinewave modulating signal.
The selected modulation source can be switched on and off at any time using the MODULATION
ON/OFF key; the MODULATION lamp lights when modulation is on.
The default modulation settings are internal modulation, 50 kHz peak deviation, modulation off.
