Source Sweep
This soft key becomes available when the System > Setup > MODE is set to Source Sweep.
The Source Sweep mode provides interconnection between a signal source/generator and the
power meter. Using simple techniques, this can provide swept power-accurate measurements
over any frequency range at very high speed. The sweep data is available over GPIB and can
provide a simple low cost scalar analyzer function.
If the source used does not provide a blanking output, the blanking signal may be disabled as
follows: select System > Rear Panel > BNC. Select PORT until INPUT 1 (digital) is selected,
then select TTL Level to alter the active state of the blanking signal expected. Setting the
TTL Level to LOW will allow the Source sweep to progress without a Blanking signal. This is
useful for third party sources or simple VTO systems. If a Source Sweep is later selected
which does provide a blanking signal, remember to restore the polarity of this signal to HIGH
or an incorrect display will result. Operating a source sweep which has BANDSWITCH
blanking delays in it without an appropriate blanking signal may lead to glitches in the
resulting measurement at the bandswitch points (simple VTO systems do not usually have
bandswitch points).

Note
Anritsu MG3690-series synthesizers provide both HORIZ OUT and SEQ SYNC
OUT signals via the AUX I/O 25 pin D-connector using Anritsu cable part number
806-97. Refer to the signal source manual for rear panel connection details.
