FREQUENCY and AMPLITUDE SWEEP |
| Step Sweep |
Step frequency and/or amplitude according
to a formula over a specified number of points. Formula Specifies:
Frequency start/stop. Amplitude start/stop.
Dwell time at each step – programmable 0.01 to 10.000sec |
| Max Points: |
1000 |
| Sweep Run: |
Continuous or single. Sweep up or down |
| Step Spacing: |
Linear or logarithmic |
| Sweep Triggering: |
Manual, Ext. signal, timed (0.1 –
999.9sec) or via remote interface |
| Sync Signal: |
(Output Stable) available during dwell
time. Programmable to be high or low |
| List Sweep |
As for Step Sweep except that a user
defined table of frequency, amplitude and dwell time values defines the
steps. The table can be created within the instrument or downloaded via
the remote interfaces. |
| Max Points: |
1000 |
| List Storage: |
Up to 16 Sweep Lists can be stored
permanently within the instrument |
| Point Trigger |
Each point in a sweep (step or list) can
be subject to a trigger event rather than a dwell time. |
| Point Triggering |
Manual, Ext. signal or via remote
interface. |
| TRIM (User
Level Compensation Tables) |
| |
A table of frequency/gain pairs allows
the user to modify the generator output level with respect to frequency
to calibrate an entire test set up or improve the calibration of the
generator alone. The table can be created within the instrument or
downloaded via the remote interfaces. |
| Max Points: |
100 |
|
OTHER INPUTS/OUTPUTS |

1.65V nominal. Trigger polarity can be
set to Negative Edge or Postive Edge |
| Input Protection |
Maximum/minimum external applied voltage
is +6V or –1V. |
| Sync Out |
Rear panel output SYNC signal goes to its
active state when generator output frequency & level have settled within
specification after a step change during Sweep. SYNC returns to inactive
state at end of specified dwell period |
| Active Output Level: |
+5V (Active state set to ‘Pos’) or 0V
(Active state set to ‘Neg’) |
| Output Impedance: |
50 Ohm Minimum load impedance is also 50
Ohm |
| Output Protection: |
Output will withstand accidental short
circuit to ground and applied external voltages up to +5V. |
