Pulse
Sweep
Linear Sweep
Sweeps with a step value staircase 
waveform pulse-wave between the 
designated start value and stop 
value.
Fixed Sweep
Sweeps specified times of sample 
counts with a pulse wave using a 
specified constant value.
Random Sweep
Sweeps the stored source value 
with a pulse wave from the speci-
fied starting address to the stop 
address.
Two-slope
Linear Sweep
Initially, sweeps the Step 1 value 
staircase waveform pulse-wave 
between the designated first value 
and middle value. Then, sweeps the 
Step 2 value staircase waveform 
pulse-wave between the designated 
middle value and last value.
