Basic Operation

Configuring the RF Output

To Edit List Sweep Points

1.Press Return > Sweep > Off.

Turning the sweep off allows you to edit the list sweep points without generating errors. If sweep remains on during editing, errors occur whenever one or two point parameters (frequency, power, and dwell) are undefined.

2.Press Configure List Sweep.

This returns you to the sweep list table.

3.Use the arrow keys to highlight the dwell time in row 1.

4.Press Edit Item.

The dwell time for point 1 becomes the active function.

5.Press 100 > msec.

This enters 100 ms as the new dwell time value for row 1. Note that the next item in the table (in this case, the frequency value for point 2) becomes highlighted after you press the terminator softkey.

6.Using the arrow keys, highlight the frequency value in row 4.

7.Press Edit Item > 545 > MHz.

This changes the frequency value in row 4 to 545 MHz.

8.Highlight any column in the point 7 row and press Insert Row.

This adds a new point between points 7 and 8. A copy of the point 7 row is placed between points 7 and 8, creating a new point 8, and renumbering the successive points.

9.Highlight the frequency item for point 8, then press Insert Item.

Pressing Insert Item shifts frequency values down one row, beginning at point 8. Note that the original frequency values for both points 8 and 9 shift down one row, creating an entry for point 10 that contains only a frequency value (the power and dwell time items do not shift down).

The frequency for point 8 is still active.

10.Press 590 > MHz.

11.Press Insert Item > -2.5 > dBm.

This inserts a new power value at point 8 and shifts down the original power values for points 8 and 9 by one row.

12.Highlight the dwell time for point 9, then press Insert Item.

A duplicate of the highlighted dwell time is inserted for point 9, shifting the existing value down to complete the entry for point 10.
