Frequency Sweep
In the frequency sweep mode, the function generator “steps” from the
start frequency to the stop frequency at a sweep rate which you specify.
You can sweep up or down in frequency, and with either linear or
logarithmic spacing. You can also configure the function generator to
output a single sweep (one pass from start frequency to stop frequency)
by applying an external trigger. The function generator can produce a
frequency sweep for sine, square, triangle, ramp, or arbitrary waveforms.
For more information on the fundamentals of frequency sweeps, refer to
chapter 7, “Tutorial”.
To Select Sweep Modulation
The Swp annunciator turns on when the sweep mode is enabled.
Only one modulation mode can be enabled at a time. When you
enable the sweep mode, the previous modulation mode is turned off.
Front-Panel Operation: Enable the sweep mode before you set up the
other sweep parameters. Press
Shift Sweep to output a sweep using
the present settings for amplitude and offset voltage.
Remote Interface Operation: To ensure proper operation, you should
enable the sweep mode after you have set up the other modulation
parameters.
