either the frequency, amplitude, or frequency and amplitude data. Press the
Freq&Ampl
softkey. Selecting this softkey returns you to the previous menu and turns the sweep
function on.
3. Press the
Sweep Repeat Single Cont softkey to toggle from Single to Cont. Notice that the
SWEEP display annunciator is turned on indicating that the signal generator is
sweeping.

RF On/Off key to toggle RF on. Notice that the display annunciator
changes from
RF OFF to RF ON. The swept RF signal is now available at the RF
OUTPUT connector.
Configuring a List Sweep Using Step Sweep Data
1. Press the Sweep Type List Step softkey to toggle from Step to List.
2. Press the
Configure List Sweep softkey. Another menu is displayed with softkeys that you
will use to create the sweep points. Notice that the display shows the current list data.
(When no list has been previously created, the default is one point set to the signal
generator’s maximum frequency,
−
135 dBm, with a dwell time of 2 ms.)
3. Press
More (1 of 2) > Load List From Step Sweep >Confirm Load From Step Sweep. The points you
defined in the step sweep are automatically loaded into the list.
Editing List Sweep Points
1. For point 1, change the dwell time to 100 ms. Press the right arrow key twice until the
dwell time is highlighted. Press
More (2 of 2) > Edit Item. The dwell time for point 1
becomes the active function. Enter 100 ms using the numeric keypad and pressing the
msec terminator softkey. Note that the next item in the table (in this case, the frequency
value for point 2) becomes highlighted after you press the terminator softkey.
2. For point 4, change the frequency to 560 MHz. Using the arrow keys, highlight the
frequency. Press the
Edit Item softkey to make the frequency for point 4 the active
function. Enter 560 MHz using the numeric keypad and pressing the
MHz terminator
softkey.
3. Add a new point between points 7 and 8. Highlight any column in the point 7 row. Press
Insert Row. A copy of the point 7 row is placed between points 7 and 8, creating a new
point 8, and renumbering the successive points.
4. Shift frequency values down one row, beginning at point 8. Highlight the frequency item
for point 8, then press
Insert Item . Note that the original frequency values for both points
8 and 9 shift down one row, creating an entry for point 10 that has only a frequency
value (the power and dwell time items do not shift down).
