Basic Operation
Configuring the RF Output
values are swept from the start frequency/amplitude to the stop frequency/amplitude. When set to Down,
values are swept from the stop frequency/amplitude to the start frequency/amplitude.
Configuring and Activating a Single Step Sweep
In this procedure, you will create a step sweep with nine, equally spaced points and the following
parameters:
• frequency range from 500 MHz to 600 MHz
• amplitude from −20 dBm to 0 dBm
• dwell time 500 ms at each point
1. Press
Preset.
2. Press
Sweep/List.
This opens a menu of sweep softkeys.
3. Press
Sweep Repeat Single Cont.
This toggles the sweep repeat from continuous to single.
4. Press
Configure Step Sweep.
5. Press Freq Start > 500 > MHz.
This changes the start frequency of the step sweep to 500 MHz.
6. Press
Freq Stop > 600 > MHz.
This changes the stop frequency of the step sweep to 600 MHz.
7. Press
Ampl Start > -20 > dBm.
This changes the amplitude level for the start of the step sweep.
8. Press
Ampl Stop > 0 > dBm.
This changes the amplitude level for the end of the step sweep.
9. Press
# Points > 9 > Enter.
This sets the number of sweep points to nine.
10. Press
Step Dwell > 500 > msec.
This sets the dwell time at each point to 500 milliseconds.
