 **Sweep and Hop Control** lets you perform **Sweep** or **Hop** when **Autocalibration** is enabled or disabled. **Sweep and Hop Control** lets you perform **Sweep** or **Hop** when **Autocalibration** is enabled or disabled.
-===== Sweep =====+==== Sweep ====
   * To sweep between frequencies with **Autocalibration** enabled, first define start VCO frequency, stop VCO frequency and channel spacing. This will start sweep using the frequencies while the **Autocalibration subband table** is populated with the sweep frequencies and subbands.   * To sweep between frequencies with **Autocalibration** enabled, first define start VCO frequency, stop VCO frequency and channel spacing. This will start sweep using the frequencies while the **Autocalibration subband table** is populated with the sweep frequencies and subbands.
   * To sweep using subbands, the **Autocalibration Subbands** table must be populated with the subbands from **Autocalibration sweep**. When Autocalibration is disabled and sweep is started, sweep will be use the subbands on the Autocalibration Subbands table.   * To sweep using subbands, the **Autocalibration Subbands** table must be populated with the subbands from **Autocalibration sweep**. When Autocalibration is disabled and sweep is started, sweep will be use the subbands on the Autocalibration Subbands table.

 There are three buttons on the top righthand corner of the Autocalibration subband table used to control the data contained in the table.  There are three buttons on the top righthand corner of the Autocalibration subband table used to control the data contained in the table.

 Finally, a subband sweep can be performed at random by using the delete icon on each column to delete a sweep step or define a VCO start frequency and use the add button to add the sweep step to the table. Finally, a subband sweep can be performed at random by using the delete icon on each column to delete a sweep step or define a VCO start frequency and use the add button to add the sweep step to the table.
  
-===== Hop ===== +==== Hop ==== 
-Similar to the Sweep, you can hop between two frequencies or subbands+Similar to the Sweep, you can hop between two frequencies. 
-  * When Autocalibration is active, Hop is performed between frequencies+  * When Autocalibration is active, it automatically calibrates the subband needed for that particular frequency
-  * To hop using subbandsfirst run an Autocalibrate using the **Calibrate** button. This will obtain the start and stop subbands, and disable Autocalibration. You can start hop using the start/stop hop button to hop between subbands.+  * For frequency hop in manual mode, run Autocalibrate using the **Calibrate** button to obtain the start and stop subbands. These subbands are pre-loaded into subbands A and B field, and Autocalibration is deactivatedFrequency hop is then executed with the known subbands loaded into the device.
