| 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. |
| |
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 |
