3.5 Operating Modes
The SGX1000 can be setup in CW mode to generate a CW signal at a user-specified frequency and
amplitude or in Sweep mode to step up or down through a set number of frequencies at a specific
amplitude with a settable dwell time. The frequency at each step is determined by the start/stop
frequencies and the sweep point count.
3.5.1 CW Mode
The CW operation mode is used to view and adjust CW signal generation at a user defined frequency
and amplitude, select a reference source and frequency, and to turn ON/OFF the RF output. A blue LED
indicator is illuminated when the RF output is active.
Frequency - The CW output frequency of the generator is adjustable from GHz down to mHz resolution.
Amplitude - The power level of the RF output is adjustable down to 0.1 dBm resolution.
Reference Source - The Reference source of the generator can be set to use an internal reference or for
a user provided external source.
Reference Frequency - The reference frequency is selectable between 10 MHz and 100 MHz for an
external source and fixed at 100 MHz for an internal source
RF Out - The RF Output state can be toggled ON or OFF. There is an LED indicating the state.
Figure 3-5 shows the CW display while generating a 100 MHz signal at 0 dBm using the internal
reference.
