If sweep is on, turn it off. Editing list sweep parameters with sweep on can generate an error.
3.
Ensure that the sweep type is set to list: Press

In the List Mode Values table editor, change the point 1 dwell time (defined in row 1) to 100
ms:
a.
Press

>
Configure List Sweep
.
b.
Highlight the point 1 dwell time.
c.
Press
100

msec
.
The next item in the table (the frequency value for point 2) highlights.
5.
Change the selected frequency value to 445 MHz: Press
445
>
MHz
.
6.
Add a new point between points 4 and 5: Highlight any entry in row 4 and press
Insert Row
.
This places a copy of row 4 below row 4, creating a new point 5, and renumbers subsequent
rows.
7.
Shift frequency values down one row, beginning at point 5: Highlight the frequency entry in
row 5, then press
More
>
Insert Item
.
This places a copy of the highlighted frequency value in row 6, shifting the original frequency
values for rows 6 and 7 down one row. The new row 8 contains only a frequency value (the
power and dwell time entries do not shift down).
8.
Change the still active frequency value in row 5 to 590 MHz: Press
590
>
MHz
. The power in
row 5 is now the active parameter.
9.

points 5 and 6 by one row: Press
Insert Item
>
−
2.5
>
dBm
.
10.
To complete the entry for point 8, insert a duplicate of the point 7 dwell time by shifting a copy
of the existing value down: Highlight the dwell time in row 7 and press
Insert Item
.
11.For an analog instrument, go to step
. For a vector instrument, continue with step
12.
Select a waveform for point 2:

The signal generator displays the available waveforms, as shown in the following example.
b.
Highlight the desired waveform (in this example,
