Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators User’s Guide 49Basic OperationConfiguring a Swept OutputA continuous sweep begins, from the start frequency/amplitude to the stopfrequency/amplitude. The SWEEP annunciator displays, and sweep progress is shown in thefrequency display, the amplitude display, and the progress bar.5. Turn the RF output on: Press RF On/Off.The RF LED lights, and the continuous sweep is available at the RF Output connector.List SweepList sweep enables you to enter frequencies and amplitudes at unequal intervals in nonlinearascending, descending, or random order. List sweep also enables you to copy the current stepsweep values, include a waveform in a sweep (on a vector instrument), and save list sweep data inthe file catalog (page 61). Dwell time is editable at each point. For fastest switching speeds, use listsweep.Figure 3-7 List Sweep Configuration Softkeys and Displaysee page 50The selected sweep determines which dwell time the signal generator uses. Step Sweep dwelltime is the same at each point; List Sweep dwell time can be different at each point.Dwell Time = the time that the signal is settled and you can make a measurement before thesweep moves to the next point.Point–to–Point Time = the sum of the value set for the dwell plus processing time, switchingtime, and settling time.Each line defines thecorresponding point inthe sweep. For example,line 1 defines point 1.page 47Available only on vector models,andonly when Sweep Type = List.Displays the selectedsweep type parameters(see page 50)Vector models onlypage 47For details on each key, use key helpas described on page 40.
