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...
 Press the Sweep key or click Channel - Sweep to access the Sweep submenu.
 Click Sweep Type – Lin Frequency.
 Click Channel – Center or Span to access the submenu defining the sweep range.
 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.
 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...
 Press the Sweep key or click Channel - Sweep to access the Sweep submenu.
 Click Sweep Type - Log Frequency.
 Click Channel - Center or Span to access the submenu defining the sweep range.
 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.
 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.
