2.27 Outputting a Frequency Sweep
In the frequency sweep mode, the 81150A / 81160A “steps” from the start
frequency to the stop frequency at a sweep rate which you specify. You can
sweep up or down in frequency, and with either linear or logarithmic
spacing.
For this example, you will output a swept sine wave from 50 Hz to 5 kHz.
You will not change the other parameters from their default settings:
internal sweep trigger, linear spacing, and 1 second sweep time.
Select the function
and amplitude for
the sweep
For sweeps, you can select sine, square, ramp, or arbitrary waveforms
(pulse, noise, and dc are not allowed). For this example, select a sine wave
with an amplitude of 5 Vpp.
Press and then verify that the linear sweep mode is currently
selected. Notice that a status message “Linear Sweep” is shown in the
status line.
