To Set up a Segmented Frequency Sweep...
1. Press the Sweep key in the Channel keypad or click Channel - Sweep to access the Sweep
submenu.
2. Click Sweep Type - Define Segments to call up the dialog defining the individual sweep segments.
Proceed as described in Define Segments to customize your sweep range. Make sure to define at
least 2 distinct sweep frequencies.
3. Use the controls in the Individual Settings panel to define the internal generator power,
measurement (IF) bandwidth and other measurement settings for each sweep segment.
4. Close the Define Segments dialog.
5. Click Sweep Type - Segmented Frequency.
If the active diagram is a Cartesian diagram, the x-axis is linearly scaled and ranges from the lowest to the
highest frequency in all segments.
To Set up a Power Sweep...
1. Press the Sweep key in the Channel keypad or click Channel - Sweep to access the Sweep
submenu.
2. Click Sweep Type - Power.
3. In the CW Frequency entry bar opened, enter the fixed stimulus frequency for the power sweep.
4. Click Channel - Stimulus to access the submenu defining the sweep range.
5. To define the start and stop power, use Start and Stop.
6. To vary the number of measurement points (e.g. to improve the resolution of the sweep or reduce
the sweep time), click Channel - Sweep - Number of Points.
If the active diagram is a Cartesian diagram, the x-axis is linearly scaled (in dB) and labeled with the Start
and Stop power levels.
To Set up a Time Sweep...
1. Press the Sweep key in the Channel keypad or click Channel - Sweep to access the Sweep
submenu.
2. Click Sweep Type - Time.
3. In the Time Sweep entry bar opened, enter the fixed stimulus frequency (CW Frequency) and the
internal generator power (Source Power) for the Time sweep.
4. Click Channel - Stimulus to access the submenu defining the sweep range.
5. To vary (extend) the sweep time, use Stop.
6. To vary the number of measurement points (e.g. to improve the resolution of the sweep or reduce
the sweep time), click Channel - Sweep - Number of Points.
If the active diagram is a Cartesian diagram, the x-axis is linearly scaled and labeled with the start time 0 s
and the Stop time.
