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.
