Using Swept Signal Mode (Configuring a Swept Output)
13.As desired, repeat step 12 for the remaining points for which you want to select a waveform.
The following figure shows an example of how this might look.
14.Turn sweep on:
Press Return > Return > Return > Sweep > Freq Off On > Amptd Off On > Waveform Off On.
15.If it is not already on, turn the RF output on:
Press RF On/Off.
The SWEEP annunciator appears on the display, indicating that the signal generator is
sweeping, and the progress bar shows the progression of the sweep.
Example: Using a Single Sweep
1. Set up either a step sweep (page 64) or a list sweep (page 66).
2. In the List/Sweep menu, set the sweep repeat to single:
Press Sweep Repeat Single Cont to highlight Single.
Sweep does not occur until you trigger it.
Note that the WINIT annunciator appears on the display, indicating that the sweep is waiting
to be initiated.
3. If not already on, turn the RF output on: Press RF On/Off.
4. Initiate the sweep: Press Single Sweep.
A single repetition of the configured sweep is available at the RF Output connector.
As the signal generator sweeps, the SWEEP annunciator replaces WINIT on the display, and the
progress bar shows the progression of the sweep.
At the end of the sweep, there is no progress bar, and the WINIT annunciator replaces SWEEP.
If the instrument is in manual sweep (page 69), the active row (row 6 in the
figure above) is the selected (manual) point, and the signal generator
outputs the settings for that selection when the RF output is on.
The empty entry is equivalent to
choosing CW (no modulation).
