Using Ramp Sweep (Option 007)

Ramp sweep provides a linear progression through the start-to-stop frequency and/or amplitude values. Ramp sweep is much faster than step or list sweep, and is designed to work with an 8757D scalar network analyzer. This section describes the ramp sweep capabilities available in PSG signal generators with Option

007.You will learn how to use basic ramp sweep, and how to configure a ramp sweep for a master/slave setup (see page 45).

Refer to the Programming Guide for an example program that uses pass-thru commands in a ramp sweep system (pass-thru commands enable you to temporarily interrupt ramp sweep system interaction so that you can send operating instructions to the PSG).
