Each option in the MORE OPTIONS menu is given below.
• FREQ CHANGE Toggles between two settings that control the way the output
signal adjusts to a new frequency. This is the default setting.
“Jump” causes the output signal to jump immediately to a new frequency setting.
“Sweep” causes the signal to sweep through a series of frequency values, over a
range you set. Use the sweep function to monitor the signal gradually change over a
given bandwidth and see the point at which its amplitude changes. More about the
sweep function is given in the “Sweeping Through a Frequency Range” section.
• RATE Used when FREQ CHANGE is set to “sweep” to toggle the sweep speed
between “fast” and “slow.” The slow speed is one tenth the fast speed.
The slow sweep rate lets you monitor the frequency change very slowly. After a fast
sweep, it can be necessary to pinpoint a special frequency with a slow sweep over a
subset of your previous frequency range.
