Stop Hold 
 
Stop Hold  is the duration that the output signal still outputs with the “Stop 
Frequency” after the generator has swept from the “Start Frequency” to the “Stop 
Frequency”. 
 
When  Sweep  is enabled, press Stop  Hold  and use the numeric keyboard or 
direction keys and knob to change the stop hold. The default value is 0s and the 
available range is from 0s to 500s. 
 
The generator will renewedly sweep and output from the specified “start frequency” 
once the End Hold is changed. 
 
 
Sweep Trigger Source 
 
The sweep trigger source could be internal, external or manual. The generator will 
generate a sweep output when a trigger signal is received and then wait for the next 
trigger source. When Sweep is enabled, press Trigger  Source to select “Int”, 
“Ext” or “Manual”. The default is “Int”. 
 
1.  Internal Trigger 
The generator outputs continuous sweep waveform when internal trigger is 
selected. The trigger period is determined by the specified sweep time, return 
time, start hold and stop hold times. 
 
Press TrigOut to select “Leading” or “Trailing” and the [CH1/Sync/Ext 
Mod/Trig/FSK] connector at the rear panel will output trigger signal with 
specified edge. 
 
 
2.  External Trigger 
The generator accepts the trigger signal inputted from the [CH1/Sync/Ext 
Mod/Trig/FSK] connector at the rear panel when external trigger is selected. 
A sweep will be generated once the connector gets a TTL pulse with specified 
polarity. To set the TTL pulse polarity, press SlopeIn to select “Leading” or 
“Trailing”. The default is “Leading”.
