Start Frequency and Stop Frequency
The start frequency and stop frequency set the upper and lower frequency bounds
for the sweep. The function generator begins at the start frequency, sweeps to the
stop frequency, and then resets back to the start frequency.
– Start and Stop frequencies: 1 mHz to 10 MHz (limited to 100 kHz for ramp
– To sweep up in frequency, set the start frequency < stop frequency.
– For sweeps with Marker Off, the Sync signal is a square waveform with a 50%
– For sweeps with Marker On, the Sync signal is a TTL "high" at the beginning of

default start frequency is 100 Hz. The default stop frequency is 1 kHz.
To sweep down in frequency, set the start frequency > stop frequency.

goes "low" at the midpoint of the sweep. The frequency of the sync waveform
is equal to the specified sweep time. The signal is output from the front-panel
