Basic Operation
Configuring the RF Output
The frequency for point 8 is still active.
10. Press
590
>
MHz
.
11. Press
Insert Item
>
–2.5
>
dBm
.
This inserts a new power value at point 8 and shifts down the original power values for points 8
and 9 by one row.
12. Highlight the dwell time for point 9, then press
Insert Item
.
A duplicate of the highlighted dwell time is inserted for point 9, shifting the existing value down
to complete the entry for point 10.
To Configure a Single List Sweep
1.
Press
Return
>
Sweep
>
Freq & Ampl
This turns the sweep on again. No errors should occur if all parameters for every point have been
defined in the previous editing process.
2.
Press
Single Sweep
.
The signal generator will single sweep the points in your list. The SWEEP annunciator activates
during the sweep.
3.
Press
More (1 of 2)
>
Sweep Trigger
>
Trigger Key
.
This sets the sweep trigger to occur when you press the
Trigger
hardkey.
4.
Press
More (2 of 2)
>
Single Sweep
.
This arms the sweep. The ARMED annunciator is activated.
5.
Press the
Trigger
hardkey.
The signal generator will single sweep the points in your list and the SWEEP annunciator will be
activated during the sweep.
To Configure a Continuous List Sweep
Press
Sweep Repeat Single Cont
.
This toggles the sweep from single to continuous. A continuous repetition of the frequencies and
amplitudes configured in the list sweep are now available at the RF OUTPUT connector. The SWEEP
annunciator appears on the display, indicating that the signal generator is sweeping and progression
of the sweep is shown by a progress bar.
Using Ramp Sweep (Option 007)
Ramp sweep provides a linear progression through the start–to–stop frequency and/or amplitude
values. Ramp sweep is much faster than step or list sweep, and is designed to work with an
8757D Scalar Network Analyzer. This section describes the ramp sweep capabilities available in signal
generators with Option 007. You will learn how to use basic ramp sweep, and how to configure a
ramp sweep for a master/slave setup (see
Refer to the Agilent Signal Generators Programming Guide for an example program that uses
pass–thru commands in a ramp sweep system (pass–thru commands enable you to temporarily
interrupt ramp sweep system interaction so that you can send operating instructions to the PSG).
