To Output a RF Sweep Signal
This section introduces how to output a RF sweep signal by configuring continuous
linear step sweep. Set the frequency range to (1 GHz to 2 GHz), the amplitude range
to (-20 dBm to 0 dBm), the number of sweep points to 10 and the dwell time to 500
ms.
1. Restore to the factory setting
Press Syst

Reset

Preset Type

"Factory" and then press Preset to
restore the instrument to the factory setting (by default, the sweep mode is
continuous, the sweep type is step and the sweep space is linear).
2. Step sweep parameter setup
Press SWEEP and use the menu page up/down key
to open the 2/3 page
of the menu; then, press Step Swp to enter the step sweep parameter setting
menu.

Start Frequency
Press Start Freq, use the numeric keyboard to input the start frequency
value (1) and select the desired unit (GHz) from the pop-up unit menu.

Stop Frequency
Press Stop Freq, use the numeric keyboard to input the stop frequency
value (2) and select the desired unit (GHz) from the pop-up unit menu.

Start Level
Press Start Lev, use the numeric keyboard to input the start level value
(-20) and select the desired unit (dBm) from the pop-up unit menu.

Stop Level
Press Stop Lev, use the numeric keyboard to input the stop level value (0)
and select the desired unit (dBm) from the pop-up unit menu.

Sweep Points
Press Points, use the numeric keyboard to input the number of sweep
points (10) and then press Enter.

Dwell Time
The dwell time indicates the duration of a sweep step.
Press Dwell Time, use the numeric keyboard to input the time value (500)
and select the desired unit (ms) from the pop-up unit menu.
3. Turn on the RF sweep
Press SWEEP

Sweep and select "Freq & Lev" to turn on the frequency and
amplitude sweep functions at the same time.
At this point, the RF signal generator sweeps from the start frequency and level
to the stop frequency and level continuously at certain step according to the
current settings. The frequency and amplitude sweep progress bars as well as
the continuous sweep label are displayed in the frequency and amplitude areas
in the user interface respectively; in addition, the Sweep label in the function
