Let's get our nomenclature right ...

CW never means Morse Code.   It means continuous wave or carrier wave (used 
interchangeably).

Morse-type Code occurs only when a continuous wave is turned on and off to 
represent letters, numbers, and punctuation according to a given language's 
agreed upon chart of correlation.

CW is a mode of transmission.  Morse Code is an application using that mode.
