The Sweep Mode panel, as shown in Figure 37, is accessible by
selecting the Sweep Mode tab located in the upper-left corner of the
Main Control panel. The Sweep Mode panel allows the user to set
triggering, sweep direction, frequency range and step size, power
range and step size, and frequency and power dwell time.
Set Trigger
The buttons in the Sweep Settings (Common) area
of the Sweep Mode panel allow the user to set parameters that are
common to both frequency and power sweeps.
• When No Trigger is selected, sweeps begin immediately after
selecting the Start Sweep button.
• When Enable List Trigger is selected and the Start Sweep button is
pressed, a full sweep begins when a hardware trigger is detected.
• When Enable List Point Trigger is selected and the Start Sweep
button is pressed, sweep points change as each hardware trigger is
received.
