Target frequency (Hz)
For 
Linear, Quadratic, and Logarithmic sweeps, the instantaneous 
frequency, f
i
(t
g
), of the output at the Target time, t
g
. For a Swept cosine 
sweep, 
Target frequency is the instantaneous frequency of the output at 
half the 
Target time, t
g
/2. When Frequency sweep is Logarithmic, you 
must set the 
Target frequency to be greater than the Initial frequency. 
Tunable.
Target time (sec)
For 
Linear, Quadratic, and Logarithmic sweeps, the time, t
g
, at which 
the 
Target frequency, f
i
(t
g
), is reached by the sweep. For a Swept cosine 
sweep, 
Target time is the time at which the sweep reaches 2f
i
(t
g
)-f
0
. You 
must set 
Target time to be no greater than Sweep time,  . 
Tunable.
Sweep time (sec)
In 
Unidirectional Sweep mode, the Sweep time, T
sw
, is the period of the 
output frequency sweep. In 
Bidirectional Sweep mode, the Sweep time 
is half the period of the output frequency sweep. You must set 
Sweep time 
to be no less than 
Target time,  . Tunable.
Initial phase (radians)
The phase,  , of the cosine output at t=0;  . Tunable.
Sample time
The sample period, T
s
, of the output. The output frame period is M
o
∗T
s
.
Samples per frame
The number of samples, M
o
, to buffer into each output frame.
