OPTION 008 RF PROFILES AND COMPLEX SWEEP
Annex-C-15
Note...
This is identical to the trigger system used in the other sweep modes.
Starting to sweep
To start a sweep press the [Start Sweep] key on the Sweep Sequence selection menu (Fig.
C-12). The signal generator will start sweeping and display the current frequency, RF level, step
time and the segment number it is currently in. If the sweep has been set to go through a number
of segments at different levels the display is updated to show the change of setting.
Before the start of a sweep the RF or LF settings of the generator can be inspected by
pressing the [RF Info.] or [LF Info.] keys.
When a sweep is in progress the sweep can be stopped at any point using the [Stop
Sweep] key and a display similar to Fig. C-14 will be shown. The carrier frequency and RF level
can be varied by using the rotary control.

Pressing [Continue Sweep] will result in the sweep restarting from the same frequency
and level as it was stopped at.
Pressing [Reset Sweep] will return the sweep to the starting point.
Pressing [Transfer Carrier] and/or [Transfer RF Level] will transfer the current setting
to the main signal generator carrier and RF level settings (obtained by pressing [SIG GEN]).
