resolution, subject to waveform

frequency and type.

Sweep

Frequency sweep capability is provided for both standard and arbitrary waveforms. Arbitrary
waveforms are expanded or condensed to exactly 4096 points and DDS techniques are used to
perform the sweep.

Carrier Waveforms:

All standard and arbitrary except pulse, pulse train and
sequence.

Sweep Mode:

Linear or logarithmic, triggered or continuous.

Sweep Direction:

Up, down, up/down or down/up.

Sweep Trigger Source:

The sweep may be free run or triggered from the following
sources: Manually from keyboard. Externally from TRIG IN input
or remote interface.

Sweep Hold:

Sweep can be held and restarted by the HOLD key.

Multi channel sweep:

Any number of channels may be swept simultaneously but the
sweep parameters will be the same for all channels. Amplitude,
Offset and Waveform can be set independently for each channel.
