Generating a Step Swept Signal
The signal generator allows you to generate step swept
signals in three modes:
General Settings for a Step Sweep
Generally, you need to set up the following parameters for a
step sweep:
• the start frequency/amplitude and stop
frequency/amplitude
• a number of equally spaced points (steps) to dwell upon
• the amount of dwell time at each point
For an intuitive view of how to generate a sweep, please
refer to:
“Generating an RF Sweep” on page 36,
“Generating an Amplitude Sweep” on page 38,
“Generating an LF Sweep” on page 39.
Sweep Mode Sweep Range Front-panel key access
RF 9 kHz to 3 GHz > Sweep Mode > RF
Amplitude –127 to +13 dBm > Sweep Mode > Ampl
LF 20 Hz to 80 kHz > Sweep Mode > LF

NOTE
During the swept RF output or Amplitude output, the FREQUENCY and
AMPLITUDE area of the signal generator’s display are deactivated,
depending on which is being swept.
