Frequency List
In the frequency list mode, the function generator “steps” through the
frequencies contained in a list, dwelling on each frequency for a specified
period. You may also control progress through the list with the trigger
system.
• The function generator will not allow the list mode to be enabled at
the same time that burst or any modulation mode is enabled. When
you enable frequency list, the burst or modulation mode is turned off.
• Front-Panel Operation: You must enable list before setting up any of
the other list parameters. Press
, the Type, then List to begin
setting up a list. This will open the menu shown below:
• Remote Interface Operation: To avoid multiple waveform changes,
enable the list mode after you have set up its parameters.
FREQuency:MODE LIST
LIST:FREQuency <number>, <number>, …
Progress through list is controlled by the trigger system. If the trigger
source is set to internal or immediate, the dwell time setting
(LIST:DWELL command) determines time spent at each frequency.
For any other trigger source, the dwell time is determined by trigger
event spacing.
