3 Center Frequency and Frequency Span
Center Frequency = (|Start Frequency + Stop Frequency|)/2
Frequency Span = Stop Frequency – Start Frequency
4 Sweep Type
4060B Series provides “Linear” and “Log” sweep proles and the default is “Linear”.
5 Linear Sweep
In linear sweep, the output frequency of the instrument varies linearly in the way of “a number of Hertz per second”.
Choose Sweep → Page 1/2 → Type → Linear, there is a straight line displayed on the waveform on the screen, indicating
that the output frequency varies linearly.
6 Log Sweep
In log sweep, the output frequency of the instrument varies in a logarithmic fashion, that is, the output frequency changes
in the way of “decade per second”. Choose Sweep → Page 1/2 → Type → Log, there is an exponential function curve
displayed on the waveform on the screen, indicating that the output frequency changes in a logarithmic mode.
7 Sweep Trigger Source
The sweep trigger source can be internal, external or manual. The generator will generate a sweep output when a trigger
signal is received and then wait for the next trigger source.
