Step Sweep
The source value interval from 0% to 100% is divided equally by a specified number, and the
source value is varied stepwise.
For instructions on how to set the 0% and 100% values, see section 2.7, “Setting the 0% and 100%
Values”.

Note
In a step sweep, percentages are equally divided. In the 1-5V√ or 4-20mA√ source range, the source
voltage or current is the value for square root operation.
Interval Time
The time period during which the source value of each step is held. You can specify 5 to 600 s.
Repeat
The interval for the signal to rise and fall or to fall and rise is considered a cycle. Set whether
to stop the sweep after one cycle (OFF) or repeat it (ON).
If set to OFF, sweeping stops after one cycle is executed, and sweeping stops, and the source
value is held.
If you change the sweep direction while sweeping is in progress, the source turns off when the
interval time elapses after reaching the 0% or 100% value after the change.
If you select ON, sweeping continues until the source is turned off with the OUTPUT ON/OFF
key.
Saving Data
The source value and measurement value of each step are automatically saved. The
maximum number of data values that can be saved on the CA500 is 100. The maximum
number of data values that can be saved in a single file on the CA550 is 2000, the maximum
number of files that can be saved is 250. For details, see section 5.2, “Saving Sweeps”.
Number of Divisions
The number divisions is used for divided output. See section 2.8, “Dividing and Generating the
Source Values”.
