Setting up a Sweep
Configurations of the different sweep types require different procedures. The following examples list the
essential settings for various sweep types.
To Set up a Lin. Frequency Sweep...
1. Press the Sweep key in the Channel keypad or click Channel - Sweep to access the Sweep
submenu.
2. Click Sweep Type – Lin. Frequency.
3. Click Channel – Stimulus to access the submenu defining the sweep range.
4. To define a sweep range confined by a start and a stop frequency, use Start and Stop.
Alternatively, to define a sweep range of definite width around a known center frequency (e.g.
an expected peak), use Center and Span.
5. 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 and
Stop frequencies.
To Set up a Log. Frequency Sweep...
1. Press the Sweep key in the Channel keypad or click Channel - Sweep to access the Sweep
submenu.
2. Click Sweep Type - Log. Frequency.
3. Click Channel - Stimulus to access the submenu defining the sweep range.
4. To define a sweep range confined by a start and a stop frequency, use Start and Stop.
Alternatively, to define a sweep range of definite width around a known center frequency (e.g.
an expected peak), use Center and Span.
5. 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 logarithmically scaled and labeled with the
Start and Stop frequencies.
