Basic OperationConfiguring a Swept Output13. As desired, repeat step 12 for the remaining points for which you want to select a waveform. Thefollowing figure shows an example of how this might look.The empty entry is equivalent tochoosing CW (no modulation).14. Turn sweep on:Press Return > Return > Return > Sweep > Freq Off On > Amptd Off On > Waveform Off On.15. If it is not already on, turn the RF output on:Press RF On/Off.The SWEEP annunciator appears on the display, indicating that the signal generator is sweeping,and the progress bar shows the progression of the sweep.NOTEIf the instrument is in manual sweep (page 61), the active row (row 6 in the figure above) isthe selected (manual) point, and the signal generator outputs the settings for that selectionwhen the RF output is on.Example: Using a Single Sweep1. Set up either a step sweep (page 52) or a list sweep (page 58).2. In the List/Sweep menu, set the sweep repeat to single:Press Sweep Repeat Single Cont to highlight Single.Sweep does not occur until you trigger it.Note that the WINIT annunciator appears on the display, indicating that the sweep is waiting tobe initiated.3. If not already on, turn the RF output on: Press RF On/Off.4. Initiate the sweep: Press Single Sweep.A single repetition of the configured sweep is available at the RF Output connector.As the signal generator sweeps, the SWEEP annunciator replaces WINIT on the display, and theprogress bar shows the progression of the sweep.At the end of the sweep, there is no progress bar, and the WINIT annunciator replaces SWEEP.60 Agilent N5161A/62A/81A/82A/83A MXG Signal Generators User’s Guide
