How to use it

select the frequency. If the scope device has a frequency
sweep generator, then this box will set the start frequency
of the sweep.

Otherwise, the generator will operate at a fixed frequency
set by the Start Frequency box.

Dual Slope. In normal mode, the generator will increase
the frequency linearly from Start Frequency to Stop

Frequency. In Dual Slope mode, it will reach Stop
Frequency and then decrease the frequency linearly to
Start Frequency before beginning again.
Stop Frequency. In Sweep Mode, the generator will stop
increasing the frequency when it reaches Stop Frequency.
Frequency Increment. In Sweep Mode, the generator will
increase or decrease the frequency by this amount every
Increment Time Interval.
Increment Time Interval. In Sweep Mode, the generator
will increase or decrease the frequency by Frequency
Increment once every time interval of this duration.
