Sweep Mode

In manual sweep frequency mode, the output fre-
quency can be manually tuned in phase-locked
steps between the selected start and stop frequen-
cies using the rotary data knob. As the knob is
turned, the current output frequency is displayed on
the data display as

Fc

. The step size or number of

steps between the start and stop frequencies are
controllable from the manual sweep menu.

To place the 681XXA in manual sweep frequency
mode, press the main menu key

CW/SWEEP

SELECT

At the resulting menu display, press

Manual

. The

Manual Sweep menu (shown below) is then dis-
played.

This menu lets you perform the following:

Select a sweep range (edit the start and stop
frequency parameters).
Set the step size or number of steps (pre-
viously described on page 3-26).
