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, 0 V corresponds to lowest frequency of the
swept CW generator frequency range and +lO V corresponds
to the highest frequency of the range. In manual sweep mode,
0 V corresponds to the start frequency
corresponds to the stop frequency
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 5 V.
2. The bandcross points in CW mode occur at 2.0, 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 swept CW generator
for optimum performance. For example, a 2.0 to 7.1 GHz sweep
could be accomplished without any band changes in manual sweep
mode.
