3.8 Multi Generator Control:
This screen ( Fig 3.8 ) allows you to specify frequency or power sweeps of multiple generators at once (up to
4 generators can be controlled from a single screen).

:
–
Toggles between two sweep modes. When
‘Freq Sweep’
is selected, the three data
entry columns are (from left to right)
‘Start (MHz)’
,
‘Stop (MHz)’
, and
‘Power (dBm)’
and function the same way as the
‘Start’, ‘Stop’ and ‘Power dBm’
boxes in the single
generator frequency sweep (section 3.6.3 ). When
‘Power Sweep’
is selected the
columns change to
‘Start (dBm)’, ‘Stop (dBm)’,
and
‘Freq (MHz)’
and function the
same way as the
‘Start’, ‘Stop’ and ‘Freq ’ boxes in the single generator power sweep
(section 3.6.2 ).
Continuous Sweep
– Repeats the sweep in a continuous loop until stopped.
Select Generator
– Select how many generators you want to sweep by clicking on the checkboxes.
S/N
– Use the drop boxes to select which of the generators connected will be swept. Make sure the power
and frequency range of each generator match the range of the sweep specified for them.
No. of Points
– Specify how many points there will be in each sweep. Note that while each generator can
have a different start and end point to its sweep, they all have the same number of points in
the sweep.
Build
– Clicking on this will cause the program to generate the table of frequency and power points as
shown in Fig 3.8.1.
