Use the knob to select Trace 3.

5.Press [REF/PHASE] Press <Ref. Source>

Use the knob to select Internal Sweep.

7.Press [GAIN/TC]

Press <Time Constant> and use the knob to select 10 ms.

Press <Synchronous> to select <200 Hz.

8.Press [TRACE/SCAN]

Display the Display and Scale menu. This menu configures and scales the different screen displays and graphs.

Highlight the trace number for the Top Bar graph. The SR850 acquires and displays data in the form of traces. The default definitions for the 4 traces are X, Y, R and θ. These definitions may be changed.

Display the magnitude R (Trace 3) on the top graph.

Display the Reference and Phase menu.

Choose internal reference frequency sweep. In this mode, the SR850 will sweep the internal oscil- lator from a start to a stop frequency.

Set the sweep start and stop frequencies in this submenu. Sweeps may be linear or logarithmic. In this case, let's use a linear sweep.

Highlight the start frequency.

Set the start frequency to 40 Hz. The reference changes to 40.000 Hz as shown in the frequency readout at the bottom center of the screen.

Highlight the stop frequency.

Set the stop frequency to 160 Hz.

Display the Gain and Time Constant menu.

Choose a short time constant so that the frequen- cy can be swept in a reasonably short time.

Since the sweep frequencies are below 200 Hz, you can take advantage of the synchronous filter to remove the 2f component of the output without using a long time constant.

Display the Trace and Scan menu. This menu allows the trace definitions to be changed and the scan (sweep) to be configured. Trace data is sam- pled and stored in the buffers at the sample rate. Swept parameters (reference frequency in this case) are also updated at the sample rate (imme- diately after the data is sampled). The scan time
