➢
Log: the frequency of the signal changes in log form.
➢
Step: the frequency of the signal changes with ladder-like step.
2. Sweep Settings
Press Settings to enter the sweep setting menu.
⚫
Set start frequency and end frequency
Start frequency and end frequency indicate the upper and lower limits of
the sweep frequency. The Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator always
sweeps from the start frequency to the end frequency, and then returns
back to the start frequency.
➢
When start frequency is smaller than the end frequency, the
Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator sweeps from low frequency to
high frequency.
➢
When start frequency is greater than the end frequency, the
Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator sweeps from high frequency
to low frequency.
➢
When start frequency is equal to the end frequency, the
Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator outputs at a fixed frequency.
Press Start Freq , then rotate the multifunction knob or use the
pop-up numeric keypad to set the start frequency. Press End Freq , then
rotate the multifunction knob or use the pop-up numeric keypad to set
the end frequency. By default, the start frequency is 100 Hz, and the end
frequency is 1 kHz. The ranges of start frequency and end frequency for
different sweep waveforms are different. After modifying the "Start Freq"
and "End Freq", the Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator will restart to
output from the specified "Start Freq".
⚫
Start Keep
Start keep indicates the time that the output signal keeps outputting at the
"Start Freq" after the sweep starts. After the start keep time expires, the
Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator will continue outputting at a
different frequency based on the current sweep type.
Press
Start Keep , then rotate the multifunction knob or use the
pop-up numeric keypad to set the start keep time. The default is 0 s, and
the range is from 0 s to 500 s.
⚫
End Keep
End keep indicates the time that the output signal continues outputting at
the "End Freq" after the Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator sweeps
from "Start Freq" to "End Freq".
Press
End Keep , then rotate the multifunction knob or use the pop-up
numeric keypad to set the end keep time. The default is 0 s, and the range
is from 0 s to 500 s.
