[:SOURce<hw>]:LFOutput:SWEep[:FREQuency]:STEP:LOGarithmic
<Logarithmic>
Sets the logarithmically determined sweep step size for the LF frequency sweep. It is
expressed in percent and you must enter the
value
and the unit
PCT
with the com-
mand.
The frequency is increased by a logarithmically calculated fraction of the current fre-
quency according to:
step_log
step+1
= f
step
+ step_log
step
x f
step
f
step+1
= f
step
+ step_log
step+1
with f
STARt
< f
STOP
and step = the current number of the sweep steps
This parameter correlates with the number of steps
within the
sweep range as follows:
freq_points = ((log f
STOP
- log f
STARt
) / log step_log) + 1
If you change the step size, the number of steps changes accordingly. The sweep
range remains the same.

Example:
LFO:FREQ:STAR
sets the start frequency to 1 kHz.
LFO:FREQ:STOP
sets the stop frequency to 100 kHz.
LFO:SWE:SPAC LOG
sets logarithmic sweep spacing.
LFO:SWE:STEP:LOG 10PCT
sets the step width for logarithmic sweep spacing to 10% of the
previous frequency in each instance.

<Shape>
Selects the shape of the LF signal.
Note:
The installed hardware determines the available settings. Use the
dialog to check the hardware the instrument is equipped with.
For information on the required hardware revision, refer to the release notes.
