Example 7: Generate a Linear Sweep Waveform
Generate a sine sweep waveform whose frequency starts at 100 Hz and sweeps to a frequency
of 10 kHz. Use internal trigger mode, linear sweep, and a sweep time of 2 s.
⚫ Set the sweep function.
Press Waveforms and choose the sine waveform as the sweep function.
The default setting of the source is internal.
⚫ Set the amplitude and offset.
1. Press Amplitude/HighLevel to choose Amplitude which will display in a blue color. Input ‘5’
from the keyboard and choose the unit ‘Vpp’ to set the amplitude to 5 Vpp.
2. Press Offset/LowLevel to choose Offset which will display in a blue color. Input ‘0’ from the
keyboard and choose the unit ‘Vdc’ to set the offset to 0 V DC
⚫ Set the sweep time.
Press Sweep → Page 1/2 → Sweep Time, input ‘1’ from the keyboard and choose the unit ‘s’
to set the sweep time to 1 s.
⚫ Set the start frequency.
Press StartFreq, input ‘100’ from the keyboard and choose the unit ‘Hz’ to set the start
frequency to 100 Hz.
