Frequency Sweep

Sweep Mode

You can sweep with either linear or logarithmic spacing. For a linear
sweep, the function generator varies the output frequency in a linear
fashion during the sweep. For a logarithmic sweep, the function
generator varies the output frequency in a logarithmic fashion.
• Sweep mode: Linear or Logarithmic. The default is Linear.
• Front-Panel Operation: After enabling sweeps, press the Linear
softkey again to toggle between the linear or log mode.
• Remote Interface Operation:
SWEep:SPACing {LINear|LOGarithmic}

Sweep Time

The sweep time specifies the number of seconds required to sweep from
the start frequency to the stop frequency. The number of discrete
frequency points in the sweep is automatically calculated by the function
generator and is based on the sweep time you select.
• Sweep time: 1 ms to 500 seconds. The default is 1 second.
• Front-Panel Operation: After enabling sweeps, press the Sweep Time
softkey. Then use the knob or numeric keypad to enter the desired
sweep time.
• Remote Interface Operation:
SWEep:TIME {<seconds>|MINimum|MAXimum}
