Ramp Freq 1 Menu
The Ramp Freq 1 menu will generate a frequency sweep where the start and stop frequencies are speci-
fied. The Ramp Freq 1 menu allows you to view and modify settings related to the instrument’s fre-
quency sweep features. When this menu is used, the frequency of the RF output can be swept linearly
from a predetermined start frequency to a predetermined stop frequency in a predetermined sweep time.
NOTE:
As soon as any Ramp or Step menu is chosen, the instrument calculates the sweep, then
begins sweeping the output frequency. The ramp is recalculated whenever a parameter is
changed. During calculations, the following message is shown at the bottom of the display:
Preparing sweeping data...
When the calculations are complete and the output is actively sweeping, the following mes-
sage is shown:
