Basic Operation

Configuring the RF Output

11.Press Return > Sweep > Freq & Ampl.

This sets the step sweep to sweep both frequency and amplitude data. Selecting this softkey returns you to the previous menu and turns on the sweep function.

12.Press RF On/Off.

The display annunciator changes from RF OFF to RF ON.

13.Press Single Sweep.

A single sweep of the frequencies and amplitudes configured in the step sweep is executed and available

at the RF OUTPUT connector. On the display, the SWEEP annunciator appears for the duration of the sweep and a progress bar shows the progression of the sweep. The Single Sweep softkey can also be used

to abort a sweep in progress. To see the frequencies sweep again, press Single Sweep to trigger the sweep.

To Configure a Continuous Step Sweep

Press Sweep Repeat Single Cont.

This toggles the sweep from single to continuous. A continuous repetition of the frequencies and amplitudes configured in the step sweep are now available at the RF OUTPUT connector. The SWEEP annunciator appears on the display, indicating that the signal generator is sweeping and progression of the sweep is shown by a progress bar.
