Generate Sweep (Sweep)
In sweep mode, the generator varies its output from the start frequency to the
stop frequency within the specified sweep time. Sweep can be generated by
Sine, Square, Ramp or Arbitrary wave (except DC).

How to set the parameters of Sweep
(1) When the output signal is Sine, Square, Ramp or Arbitrary wave (except
DC), press the front panel Mode function key,then press the Sweep to
enter the sweep mode.
(2) Press , , , or to select the sweep waveform. For
example, when selecting a sine wave, press to display the sweep
waveform and parameters, and change the parameters. For details,
please refer to Output Sine Wave on page 8. Press the Mode to return to
the sweep mode interface.
(3) Press the Type softkey to switch the sweep type.
When Linear is selected, the output frequency of the instrument varies
linearly during the sweep.
When Log is selected, the output frequency of the instrument varies in a
logarithmic fashion during the sweep.
When Step is selected, the output frequency of the instrument steps from
start frequency to stop frequency. The duration of the output signal on
each frequency point is determined by sweep time and step number.
Press the Step softkey to set the desired step number.
(4) Press the Sweep Time softkey to set the sweep time, the time span of the
