Sweep Points Vs.
Sweep Time
To demonstrate the relationship between the number of points (frequencies)
in a frequency sweep and the time of the sweep, the following program uses
100 frequency points to continuously sweep from 5 kHz to 15 kHz in 0.5
seconds. (See “ Program Comments” to determine the sweep time.)
Using the flowchart as a guide, the steps of this program are:
1. Select the Frequency Sweep Mode -
[SOURce:]FREQuency:MODE SWEep
2. Set the Start Frequency -
[SOURce:]FREQuency:STARt <
start_freq
>
3. Set the Stop Frequency -
[SOURce:]FREQuency:STOP <
stop_freq
>
4. Set the Number of Points (frequencies) in the Frequency Sweep -
[SOURce:]SWEep:POINts <
number
>
5. Set the Sweep Repetition Time -
[SOURce:]SWEep:TIME <
number
>
6. Set the Output Function -
[SOURce:]FUNCtion[:SHAPe] <
shape
>
7. Set the Signal Amplitude -
[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <
amplitude
>
8. Place the AFG in the Wait-for-arm State -
INITiate[:IMMediate]
