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 PSG 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 page 45).
Refer to the 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).
Using Basic Ramp Sweep Functions
This procedure demonstrates the following tasks (each task builds on the previous task):
• “Configuring a Frequency Sweep” on page 38
• “Using Markers” on page 40
• “Adjusting Sweep Time” on page 42
• “Using Alternate Sweep” on page 43
• “Configuring an Amplitude Sweep” on page 44
