Starting to Sweep
UP Sweep
When the output is turned on, flip the
SWEEP
switch up.
The UP indicator illuminates, and the 2560A starts sweeping toward main setting (MAX). When the sweep
end value is reached or if you flip the SWEEP switch down while sweeping is in progress, sweeping will
stop (hold state). A beep will sound when the sweep is held.
DOWN Sweep
When the output is turned on, flip the
SWEEP
switch down.
The DOWN indicator illuminates, and the 2560A starts sweeping toward main setting (MIN). When the
sweep end value is reached or if you flip the SWEEP switch up while sweeping is in progress, sweeping will
stop (hold state). A beep will sound when the sweep is held.
SWEEP switch
UP sweep: Flip up.
DOWN sweep: Flip down.
Explanation
Sweeping is a feature used to vary the output value continuously and smoothly toward main setting
(MAX) or main setting (MIN) over the specified sweep time. Sweeping cannot be used in high
resolution mode.
Sweep Time
Select the time for the sweep output to move from 0% to 100% from the following.
Approx. 8 s, approx. 16 s, approx. 32 s, approx. 64 s
The default sweep time is approximately 16 s.
Output Example
The following figure shows the sweep operation when the main setting (MAX) is set to +100.000 V
and the main setting (MIN) is set to +0.000 V at 100 V range.
