Creating a Step Sweep and a List Sweep
Creating a Step Sweep and a List Sweep
Using this procedure, you will learn two ways to set up the signal generator to
sweep a defined set of points. You will create a step sweep and then you will use
these points as the basis for a new list sweep.
In the first procedure, you will create a step sweep with the following ten equally
spaced points:
• frequency range from 525 MHz to 600 MHz
• power level from −20 dBm to 0 dBm
• dwell time 500 ms at each point
In the second procedure, you will take the step sweep points and edit several
points to change the sweep information.
