Frequency Sweep

Sweep Time

The sweep time specifies the number of seconds required to sweep from
the start frequency to the stop frequency. The number of frequency
points in the sweep depends on the sweep time you select and is
automatically calculated by the function generator.
• Sweep time: 1 ms to 500 seconds. The default is 1 second.
• The function generator computes between 2,048 and 4,096 frequency
points from the start frequency to the stop frequency.
• Front-Panel Operation:

Sweep Mode

You can sweep with either linear or logarithmic spacing. The output
frequency of a linear sweep changes linearly during the duration of the
sweep. For logarithmic spacing, the output frequency changes
exponentially during the duration of the sweep.
• Sweep mode: Linear or Logarithmic. The default is Linear.
