Frequency Sweep
3
Hold Time
The hold time specifies the number of seconds to remain at the stop
frequency. This allows the stop frequency to be sustained for a set time.
By default, this value is zero and the sweep will immediately return to
the start frequency.
• Hold time: 0 to 3600 seconds. The default is 0 seconds.
• Front-Panel Operation: After enabling sweeps, press Hold & Return
and then the Hold Time softkey. Then use the knob or numeric
keypad to enter the desired sweep time.
• Remote Interface Operation:
SWEep:HTIMe {<seconds>|MINimum|MAXimum}
Return Time
The return time specifies the number of seconds to return from the stop
frequency to the start frequency. The number of discrete frequency
points in the return is automatically calculated by the waveform
generator and is based on the return time you select.
• Hold time: 0 to 3600 seconds. The default is 0 seconds.
• Front-Panel Operation: After enabling sweeps, press Hold & Return
and then the Return Time softkey. Then use the knob or numeric
keypad to enter the desired sweep time.
• Remote Interface Operation:
SWEep:RTIMe {<seconds>|MINimum|MAXimum}
