OPTION 008 RF PROFILES AND COMPLEX SWEEP
Annex-B-8
Once two or more points have been entered in a profile the profile can be stored by pressing the
[Store Profile] key followed by the profile number (0 to 9) and the [enter] key.
Enabling a profile
To enable or disable a profile first use the
[Select Profile]
key shown in Fig. B-5 and enter the
profile number (0 to 9) to be used and terminate the entry using the [enter]
key.
The
[Enable/Disable]
key can then be used to enable or disable the profile.
The profile facility can be set to be on or off when an instrument is switched on using the save
setting facility. If the generator is unlocked to Level 1 pressing the
[Save Setting]
key on the
RF
Profile Menu
of Fig. B-5 will result in the state of profile enable/disable flag and the selected
profile number being stored in non-volatile memory. If the profile is enabled then at power on the
generator will recall the profile and apply it to the RF output.
The
RF Profile Menu
can be left by using the
[EXIT]
key to obtain the
RF Level Utility Menu
of
Fig. B-2 or by using the keys underneath the display. If the [SIG GEN] key is pressed to obtain
the main signal generator screen, and the profile facility is enabled, the profile selected is
displayed as shown in Fig. B-7. The correction value corresponding to the selected carrier
frequency will be applied to the RF level.

If a profile point is added at the same frequency as an existing point in that profile, the old
profile level will be automatically overwritten by the new value.
Where the carrier frequency is set to a value less then the lowest profile frequency the value at
the lowest profile will be used. Similarly if the set carrier frequency is higher than the highest
profile frequency the value of the highest profile value will be used.
