Stop Sweep
The red Stop Sweep button under the Frequency
Sweep Settings area of the Sweep Mode panel is used to halt
frequency sweeps.
Sweep Mode
The buttons in the Power Sweep Settings area
of the Sweep Mode panel allow the user to set the parameters
necessary for power sweeps.
• When Normal Mode is selected, the Start Power, Stop Power,
Frequency, and Step Power entry boxes are available for the
user to enter values.
• When Fast Mode is selected, the Start Power, Stop Power,
Frequency, and Number of Points entry boxes are available for
the user to enter values. The Step Power entry box is disabled
as the Synthesizer will pre-calculate this parameter based on the
number of points specified in the Number of Points entry box
located above the Start Sweep button.
