How to set the parameters of Sweep

(1)

When the output signal is Sine, Square or Ramp waveform, press the

Mod

button,

then press

to select Sweep to enter the Sweep mode.

(2)

Press

button to choose the waveforms. Take Sine for

instance, press

to display the waveform and parameters. You can change the

parameters, please refer to

To set signals

on page 12. Press

button again to

return to the Sweep mode interface.

(3)

Press

to set Sweep Time, the Time Span of the Sweep for which the

Frequency changes from the Start Frequency to Stop Frequency.

(4)

Press

to select the Sweep Type. Linear means setting the Sweep with linear

spacing; Log means setting the Sweep with logarithmic spacing.

(5)

Use Start Freq and Stop Freq or Center Freq and Freq Span to set the range of the
frequency. Press

to select Sta_Freq or Cen_Freq, and set the desired value.

(6)

Press

to select StopFreq or FreqSpan, and set the desired value.

(7)

Press

to select NextPage, press it again to enter the next page.

(8)

Press

to select the source. Internal means using the internal source. External

means using the

Ext Trig/Burst/Fsk In

connector in the rear panel to input the

external signal. Manual means choosing manual trigger; in Sweep interface, press the
