SWEEP

 

The SWEEP function returns the results of a regular sine wave function with increasing linear frequency.

 

Format

 

Arguments definition

Independent variable for the SWEEP function

     This variable must be time, a real number, or a function that returns a real number.

Sine function wave

Starting point of the SWEEP function (x value)

Initial sine function frequency

Ending point of the SWEEP function (x value)

Ending frequency of the sine function

Range in which the SWEEP function is fully active

 

Formulation

 

Example

SWEEP(time , 1.0 , 0.0 , 0.0 , 0.5 , 100.0 , 0.1)

     x = time: Independent variable.

     a = 1.0: The amplitude of the sinusoidal function.

     x0 = 0.0: X-value at which the SWEEP function begins.

     f0 = 0.0: Initial frequency of the sinusoidal function.

     x1 = 0.5: X-value at which the SWEEP function ends.

     f1 = 100.0: Final frequency of the sinusoidal function.

     dx = 0.1: Interval value of X-value in which the SWEEP function is fully active.
