is not installed. After a ramp calculation is performed by the 2400, the unit will continuously sweep.

There is no provision for an externally triggered ramp sweep. The maximum settable range for ramp

sweep is 45 dB. If option 26 is installed in the 2400, the ramp power sweep operation prevents the

attenuator from switching during a ramp power sweep. For power sweeps with levels below -20 dBm,

it is necessary to set the step attenuator before setting the start and stop power sweep settings.
