Linear sweep
Linear
Generates staircase waveforms of the step value
between the start value and the stop value.
Kth output value = Start value +
(K - 1)
×(Step value)
Number of steps = (|Stop value – Start value|) /
(Step value) +1
Multi-slop linear
sweep
MLinear
Generates staircase waveforms of different slopes by
specifying the number of slopes between 2 and 4.
1st slope:
Kth output value = First value +
(K - 1)
× (1st step value)
Number of steps = (|Second value - First value|) /
(1st step value) +1
2nd slope:
Kth output value = Second value +
(K - 1)
× (2nd step value)
Number of steps = (|Last value - Second value|) /
(2nd step value) +1
Log sweep
Log
Generates staircase waveforms logarithmically divided
by the number of steps by decade.
Kth output value = Start value
× S
S = 10
(K - 1) / n
n: Number of partitions by decade
(1,2,5,10,25,50)
• Start value, Stop value  0
• |Start value|  |Stop value|
• Start value polarity = Stop value polarity
Random sweep
Random
Generates waveforms of the source values stored in the
memory from the start address to the stop address.
Fixed level sweep
Fixed
Generates waveforms of the specified level by the
specified sampling count.
