3 Features and Functions
106 Keysight 33210A User’s Guide
Start Frequency and Stop Frequency
The start frequency and stop frequency set the upper and lower frequency
bounds
for the sweep. The function generator begins at the start frequenc
y, sweeps to the
stop frequency, and then resets back to the start frequency.
– Start and Stop frequencies:
1 mHz to 10 MHz
(limited to 100 kHz for ramp
waveforms). The sweep is phase continuous over the full frequency range. The
default start frequency is 100 Hz. The default stop frequency is 1 kHz.
– To sweep up in frequency, set the start frequency < stop frequency.
To sweep
down
in frequency, set the start frequency
>
stop frequency.
– For sweeps with Marker Off, the Sync signal is a square waveform with a 50%
duty cycle. The Sync signal is a TTL “high” at the beginning of the sweep and
goes “low” at the midpoint of the sweep. The frequency of the sync waveform
is equal to the specified sweep time. The signal is output from the front-panel
Sync connector.
–For sweeps with Marker On, the Sync signal is a TTL “high” at the beginning of
the sweep and goes “low” at the marker frequency. The signal is output from
the front-panel Sync connector.
– Front-Panel Operation: After enabling sweeps, press the Start or Stop
softkey. Then use the knob or numeric keypad to enter the desired frequency.
– Remote Interface Operation:
FREQuency:STARt {<frequency>|MINimum|MAXimum}
FREQuency:STOP {<frequency>|MINimum|MAXimum}
