Example: Configuring a List Sweep Using Step Sweep Data
1. Set up the desired step sweep, but do not turn the sweep on. This example uses the step sweep
configured on page 51.
2. In the SWEEP menu, change the sweep type to list:
Press SWEEP > Sweep Type List Step to highlight List.
The display shows sweep list parameters, as shown below.
3. Open the List Sweep menu: Press More > Configure List Sweep.
4. Clear any previously set values from the menu and load the points defined in the step sweep into
the list: Press More > Preset List > Preset with Step Sweep > Confirm Preset.
The display updates with the values loaded from the step sweep, as shown.
5. Sweep frequency and amplitude: Press SWEEP (hardkey) > Sweep > Freq Off On > Amptd Off On.
Setting the sweep turns on the sweep function; a continuous sweep begins. On the display, the
SWEEP annunciator appears, and the progress bar shows the progression of the sweep.

The RF Output LED lights, and a continuous sweep is available at the RF OUTPUT connector.
