Synchronize the

command to synchronize commands with the overlapping sweep

operation of the

Note that we do NOT synchronize the controller with the

for that You need

The requirement is to set up a sweep with the following parameters:
Start
1.33
MHz
frequency
Stop frequency
4.5
MHz
Sweep time
1
sec
Function SIN
and we want to have the following dynamic operation
:
output is off
rn
switch output on and do one sweep cycle with an amplitude of
3
volts .
do one sweep cycle with an amplitude of
6
volts.
do one sweep cycle with an amplitude of
9
volts and switch output
off.
