List Sweeps (Figure 9)
List sweeps allow to set frequency, output power, dwell time, and off time for each entry
individually. To start a list sweep, the following steps are required:
a) select sweep parameter
b) select indexing
c) upload list file from computer (CSV-file)
d) select number of repetition
e) select the ALC mode: on, hold or off. Generally, ALC on is used. If very short
dwell times (1-2 ms) are needed, the ALC can be set to “hold”. This way the ALC
loop is disabled during the sweep. The ALC voltages are calibrated before the
sweep to maintain high level accuracy during the sweep.
f) start sweep with on/off button
