the @ and (%J keys. Frequencies in the manual sweep mode are synthesized, just as they are in CW mode.

There are two major differences between manual sweep and a sweep generated by activating the CW function and rotating the rotary knob or pressing the ARROW keys.

1.The sweep output voltage ramp is 0 to +lO V in both modes, but in CW mode, OV corresponds to lowest frequency of the synthesizer frequency range and +lO V corresponds to the highest frequency of the range. In manual sweep mode, OV corresponds to the start frequency specified and +lO V corresponds to the stop frequency specified. In both cases, the sweep voltage at intermediate frequencies is a linear interpolation of the frequency span. For example, a frequency half-way between the start/stop limits has a sweep voltage of 5V.

2.The bandcross points in CW mode occur at 2.4, 7, 13.5, 20, 25.5, and 32 GHz. In manual sweep mode the bandcrossing points have 200 MHz of flexibility, that is automatically used by the synthesizer for optimum performance. For example, a 2.3 to 7.1 GHz sweep could be accomplished without any band changes in manual sweep mode.
