Setting the Output Frame Status
Use Samples per frame parameter to set the block’s output frame status, as 
summarized in the table. The 
Sample time parameter sets the sample time of 
both sample- and frame-based outputs. 
Shaping the Frequency Sweep by Setting Frequency Sweep and Sweep 
Mode
The basic shape of the output instantaneous frequency sweep, f
i
(t), is set by the 
Frequency sweep and Sweep mode parameters, described in the following 
table.

Parameters for 
Setting Sweep Shape
Possible Settings Parameter Description
Frequency sweep Linear
Quadratic
Logarithmic
Swept cosine
Determines whether the sweep frequencies vary 
linearly, quadratically, or logarithmically. 
(Linear and swept cosine sweeps both vary 
linearly.)
Sweep mode Unidirectional
Bidirectional
Determines whether the sweep is unidirectional 
or bidirectional. For details, see “Unidirectional 
and Bidirectional Sweep Modes”.
