Sweep Problems

Sweep Appears to be Stalled

The current status of the sweep is indicated as a shaded rectangle in the progress bar. You can observe the progress bar to determine if the sweep is progressing. If the sweep appears to have stalled, check the following:

Have you turned on the sweep by pressing any of the following key sequences?

Sweep/List > Sweep > Freq Sweep/List > Sweep > Ampl Sweep/List > Sweep > Freq & Ampl

Is the sweep in continuous mode? If the sweep is in single mode, be sure that you have pressed the Single Sweep softkey at least once since completion of the prior sweep. Try setting the mode to continuous to

determine if the missing single sweep is blocking the sweep.

Is the signal generator receiving the appropriate sweep trigger? Try setting the

Sweep Trigger softkey to Free Run to determine if a missing sweep trigger is blocking the sweep.

Is the signal generator receiving the appropriate point trigger? Try setting the Point Trigger softey to Free Run to determine if a missing point trigger is blocking the sweep.

Is the dwell time appropriate? Try setting the dwell time to one second to determine if the dwell time was set to a value which was too slow or too fast for you to see.

Do you have at least two points in your step sweep or list sweep?

Cannot Turn Off Sweep Mode

Press Sweep/List > Sweep > Off.

In the sweep mode menu you can choose to set the sweep to various sweep types or to turn sweep off.
