signal sweep signal generator

[bjbdts]

Hi everyone:

I'm trying to perform a frequency sweep from1.8GHz to 2.5GHz. The equipment is E4422B signal generator.  The output signal is connected to a power meter to read its output power. I already downloaded the equipment's drive. I can communicate with the equipment with simple config frequency.vi and config amplitude.vi. But I'm not sure how to perform the sweep. It seems the equipment is configured right, yet I need something to trigger the sweep. I want to be able to see the frequency value during sweeping. Any advice is appreciated. Attached please find the program I tried.

Hello,

Have you looked at the Trigger.vi and Single Sweep.vi that are located in the VI library of the driver? I think they are the ones needed to perform the sweep.

Thank you,

Ryan
