Sweep
The sweep capability allows the comprehensive testing of systems, since measurements at single
points will not necessarily give an overall indication of the performance. The sweep function is
specified by the following parameters:
•
Start frequency
•
Stop frequency
•
Size of step
•
Time per step
The sweep can be operated in single shot or continuous modes with the start command triggered by
a key press, an external pulse or GPIB control. Once started, the sweep can be stopped at any time
when the display will indicate the current parameter value.
