Sweep Mode
You can sweep with linear or logarithmic spacing, or with a list of sweep frequencies. For a linear sweep, the instrument
varies the output frequency linearly during the sweep. A logarithmic sweep, varies the output frequency log-
arithmically.
The selected mode does not affect the sweep return (from stop to start, if one is set). The sweep return is always linear.
Sweep mode: Linear (default), Logarithmic, or List.

Sweep Time
Sweep time specifies the number of seconds required to sweep from the start frequency to the stop frequency. The
instrument calculates the number of points in the sweep based on the sweep time.
Sweep time: 1 ms to 250,000 seconds, default 1 s. For a linear sweep in immediate trigger mode, the maximum
l
total sweep time (including hold time and return time) is 8,000 s. The maximum total sweep time for linear
