Generating Sweep Waveforms
Specific waveform types may be swept (as carrier waveforms) using the
WaveStation. Sine, Square, Ramp, or Arb waveforms may be swept, while
Pulse, Noise, and DC cannot. Frequency sweep mode uses the WaveStation
to sweep from the start frequency to the stop frequency at a specified
sweep rate.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

It's important to understand the relationship between the Main
Waveform Type buttons, the Waveform Signal Conditioning function
buttons, and the Save/Recall, Utility, and Help function buttons. See
Combined Use of Waveform, Function, and Configuration Buttons (on
page 17).

Default values for many controls can be set using certain options
available on the Utility menu. See Main Utility Operations (on page 52).
This section covers sweep waveform creation and making specific
adjustment/selection parameter choices - all of which vary based on the
specific function and carrier waveform selection made.
While details around creating waveforms and adjusting specific parameters
(which vary based on the specific sweep waveform) are covered here, the
following section covers some menu control considerations. For more
information on getting to this point, see Navigating Interfaces, Adjusting
Parameters, and Making Selections (on page 11).
The first step in creating a sweep waveform is to press the Sweep button
on the Front Panel.
After pressing the Sweep button, select the desired modulated waveform
type using the Display Menu Operation buttons. The waveform is shown
on the Waveform Display.
At this point, the Display Menu Operation buttons are used to select
applicable parameters and make adjustments as desired.
A good portion of the waveform operation buttons control two separate
parameters. Operation buttons controlling two parameters have
additional, lighter shaded function labels on them; press the button once to
adjust the top control parameter; twice to adjust the bottom one. Make
adjustments using the Digital Input Front Panel Controls.
