Sweep Mode - Holzworth Instrumentation HS9000B Series User Manual

8.3.5 Sweep Mode

The SWEEP mode set button gives the user access to the sweep function control panel. The
control panel allows for setting the start/stop frequencies, dwell time (ms or µs) between points, and
the number of points to use within the sweep range. The user can also set the sweep direction
up/down, and set the trigger sweep mode.
DWELL TIME: The DWELL TIME setting is for controlling the delay time (in milliseconds or
microseconds) in between each point in the sweep bandwidth.
Number of POINTS: The maximum number of points allowable for any sweep is 65535. Note
that the number of points may be limited depending on the sweep bandwidth selected.
TRIGGER SWEEP Free Running: Selecting Free Running sweep mode will initiate the entire
set bandwidth sweep to begin at the moment the Sweep radio button is selected under the
ENABLE mode.
TRIGGER SWEEP Ramp:
bandwidth sweep with a trigger signal at the modulation input port.
TRIGGER SWEEP Point: Selecting the Point sweep mode will initiate each individual point
step in the sweep bandwidth at each trigger signal.
NOTE that once sweep mode is initiated, it will loop (restart) continuously until the
routine is manually interrupted.
