Getting Started
Let's scan a 20 Hz span around the signal
frequency (100.000 kHz).
This setup will increase the internal frequency
from 99.990 kHz to 100.010 kHz. To reverse
the scan, simply reverse the begin and end
values.
This will repeat the scan over and over jumping
from the end value back to the begin value at
the end of each scan.
The lock-in frequency has not been changed,
we have only configured a scan. The scan has
not been started.
The LED turns on indicating that the
Ready
scan is ready (at the start value). In this case,
the internal frequency (in the info bar at the top)
is shown in orange indicating that it is under
scan control. At this time, the frequency is the
start value or 99.9900 kHz.
The Run LED turns on indicating that the scan
is running.
The internal frequency starts scanning up. The
current value is shown in orange in the info bar.
When the end value is reached, the scan resets
to the beginning value and repeats.
The trend graphs show a resonance as the
internal frequency passes through 100.000 kHz.
This is because the difference between the f
and f gets slower as the f
internal
f and then gets faster after it passes f
signal
The time constant attenuates this difference
frequency when it is large.
It is much easier to visualize a scan using the
strip charts since the chart time scale can be
matched to the scan time.
This scan takes 1m40s or 100 s so a chart span
of 100 s will display an entire scan.
