Linear Sweep
The source value changes linearly from the 0% value to the 100% value or from the 100% value to
the 0% value.
For instructions on how to set the 0% and 100% values, see section 2.7, “Setting the 0% and 100%
Values”.

Note
In a linear sweep, the percent value changes linearly. In the 1-5V√ or 4-20mA√ source range, the source
voltage or current is the square root of each percentage.
Rise Time and Fall Time
These are the times during which the source value is varied from 0% to 100% or from 100% to
0%. You can specify 5 to 600 s.
Interval Time
This is the time during which the source value is held at 0% or 100% after the rise or fall time.
You can specify 5 to 600 s.
Repeat
The interval for the signal to rise and fall or to fall and rise is considered a cycle. Set whether
to stop the sweep after one cycle (OFF) or repeat it (ON).
If you select OFF, sweeping stops after one cycle is completed. If you change the sweep
direction while sweeping is in progress, sweeping stops when the interval time elapses after
reaching the 0% or 100% value after the change.
If you select ON, sweeping continues until the source is turned off with the OUTPUT ON/OFF
key.
