Analog Discovery 2 - AM modulation of FM sweep question

[longboard]

Hello,

I am using my Analog Discovery 2 for generating FM sweeps which is working well for my application and I have also separately experimented with AM modulation on the 2nd channel, but it doesn't seem possible to AM modulate my FM sweep? But I wanted to ask to confirm.

Thank you

Hi @longboard

AM and FM can be used at the same time or separately.

Thank you Atilla. I understand that both AM and FM modulation can be used at the same time on separate channels at fixed frequencies. However it doesn't seem possible to amplitude modulate an FM sweep based (all on the same channel) using the Waveforms interface. Once I enable a "Sweep" in the drop down menu I don't think it is possible to then amplitude modulate that same FM sweep on the same channel unfortunately. I will experiment further with the software interface to see if I am missing something.

Hi @longboard

It is possible:

Thank you Attila. That is very helpful.
