3.2.4.
External sweep and frequency modulation
The SGLE SWEEP button must be released.
The frequency of the generator can be controlled by supplying an external voltage to the SWP VOLTAGE
IN/OUT socket. The frequency of the generator changes exponentially with the control voltage (1 Dekade/1 V),
as described in chapter 3. 2. 3.
Within the frequency ranges some limitations have to be taken into account:
The start frequency limits the maximum external control voltage. A start frequency of 2 kHz for instance
results in a maximum possible sweep range of 1 decade up to higher frequencies, corresponding to a con-
trol voltage of +1 V, example 1 a of the figure. Down to lower frequencies a maximum voltage of- 2,3 V
is permitted not to exceed the limit for the stop frequency of 10 Hz, example 1 b. Is the start frequency
the lower limit of the sub-range (e.g. 10Hz in II, example 2) , the maximum control voltage of +3,3 V
can be made use of.
Example for frequency modulation:
Adjusting the basic frequency to 2 kHz and applying an external d.c. control voltage of-1 V result in a
center frequency of 2oo Hz. Superimposition of an a.c. control voltage of 1 Vpp effects a frequency
modulation within the limits of 2o Hz and 2 kHz, example 3.
