3. Press
Configure List Sweep.
This opens another menu displaying softkeys that you will use to create the sweep points.
The display shows the current list data. (When no list has been previously created, the
default list contains one point set to the signal generator’s maximum frequency, minimum
amplitude, and a dwell time of 2 ms.)
4. 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. Press
Return > Sweep > Off.
Turning the sweep off allows you to edit the list sweep points without generating errors. If
sweep remains on during editing, errors occur whenever one or two point parameters
(frequency, power, and dwell) is undefined.
2. Press
Configure List Sweep.
This returns you to the sweep list table.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the dwell time in row 1.
4. Press
Edit Item.
The dwell time for point 1 becomes the active function.
5. Press
100 > msec.
This enters 100 ms as the new dwell time value for row 1. 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.
6. Using the arrow keys, highlight the frequency value in row 4.
7. Press
Edit Item > 545 > MHz.
This changes the frequency value in row 4 to 545 MHz.
8. Highlight any column in the point 7 row and press
Insert Row.
This adds a new point between points 7 and 8. A copy of the point 7 row is placed between
points 7 and 8, creating a new point 8, and renumbering the successive points.
