Page 237: Bode Plot Ii
Bode Plot II The bode plot application for the SDS1000X-E (4-channel) control an external arbitrary waveform generator(only Siglent’s arbitrary waveform generator can be supported) to sweep a sine wave across a range of frequencies while measuring the input to and output from a device under test (DUT). At each frequency point, gain and phase are measured and displayed on the Bode plot.
