Hello, does anyone know how to initiate an output frequency sweep through the TICSPRO software. Looking to sweep an LMX2595 EVM across a range of frequencies with spacing of 1 kHz to measure output power across a band. Does the TICPRO software allow for this? I don't seen any functions or tabs within the software to allow for ramping. If anyone could point me to a resource it would be greatly appreciated. I've got the SNAU195 users manual but it doesn't specify how to do this.

Yes, TICSPRO software does support this and the GUI is extremely helpful in doing this.

There is a RAMP tab.

Thank you Dean. The ramp tab is not on the software I have (version1.7.6.2) Does anyone know why the ramp tab wouldn't be available?

TICSPRO SW ramp mode is available for certain PLLs (LMX2595 has ramp mode) but not for LMX2592. Has anyone had this same problem?

My version has the ramp tab for the LMX2595. And yes, the LMX2592 does not support ramping. We are also releasing TICSPRO this year and the release directory also shows the ramping tab.
