Configuring a Swept Output
The signal generator has two methods of sweeping through a set of frequency and amplitude points:
Step sweep (page 52) provides a linear or logarithmic progression from one selected frequency,
amplitude, or both, to another, pausing at linearly or logarithmically spaced points (steps) along the
sweep. The sweep can progress forward, backward, or manually.
List sweep (page 55) enables you to enter frequencies and amplitudes at unequal intervals, in
nonlinear ascending, descending, or random order. List sweep also enables you to copy the current
step sweep values, include an Arb waveform in a sweep (on a vector instrument), and save list sweep
data in the file catalog (page 66).
