Using Swept Signal Mode (Configuring a Swept Output)
The signal generator has two methods of sweeping through a set of frequency and amplitude
points:
Step sweep (page 63) provides a linear or logarithmic progression from one selected frequency,
amplitude, or both, to another, pausing at linearly or logarithmically spaced points (steps) along
the sweep. The sweep can progress forward, backward, or manually.
List sweep (page 65) enables you to enter frequencies and amplitudes at unequal intervals, in
nonlinear ascending, descending, or random order. List sweep also enables you to copy the current
step sweep values, include an Arb waveform in a sweep (on a vector model), and save list sweep
data in the file catalog (page 77).

Sweep without waiting for
a trigger at each point.
Point Trigger pauses for the dwell
time prior to the first sweep. See
page129.
Apply a TTL/CMOS signal to the
Trigger In connector.
Periodically issue a trigger event to
whatever selects it as a source.
Using timer trigger with single
sweep results in a delay prior to the
first sweep. See page129.
Trigger on a remote command.
Down sweeps from
stop to start
frequency/amplitude.
Up sweeps from start
to stop
frequency/amplitude.

The selected sweep type determines the displayed parameter.
Selecting step sweep also displays the step spacing (Lin or Log).

During a sweep, the swept parameter (frequency, amplitude, or both) turns gray and changes as the parameter sweeps.
Progress Bar: Note that very fast sweeps
can appear to sweep randomly or
backward.
