If you change step size then the number of points will be changed
to span/step and a Parameter Bumped execution error is reported.
If span or points are changed then STEP= SPAN/POINTS. The
step sweep command creates a coupling with sweeptime also. If
points is changed through this coupling and
is ON and
TIME:AUTO
is ON then dwell is changed to SWEEPTIME/POINTS.
Span is normally an independent variable but is changed to STEP
x POINTS if both of these parameters are changed in the same
message.
value is
l
SWEep:TIME
suffix]
l
SWEep:TIME?
Sets and queries the current sweep time. The dwell time can be
coupled to sweep time if SWE : DWEL : AUTO is
ON.
The dwell time is
then governed by the equation
= SWEEPTIME/POINTS.
Changing either sweep time or the number of points causes
to be recalculated but does not cause an error. If you attempt to
change the dwelltimethen :AUTOis set to
OFF
then sweep time is independent of the dwell time and the number of
points. *RST value is MIN.
l
SWEep:TIME:AUTO
l
SWEep:TIME:AUTO?
Sets and queries the automatic sweep time switch.
ON The value of the sweep time is automatically to
minimum.
O F F
Attempting to set a sweep time faster than allowed
in the AUTO mode causes this switch to change to
AUTO ON evenifit was previously in the AUTO OFF
mode.
*RST state is ON.
SWEep:TIME:LLIMit
l
SWEep:TIME:LLIMit.
Sets and queries the lower sweep time limit. This value specifies the
fastest sweep time that you wants the synthesizer to allow either on
input or when calculated internally when in AUTO ON mode. This
value must be greater than 10 ms. *RST value is 10 ms.
SWEep:TRIGger:SOURce
l
SWEep:TRIGger:SOURce?
Sets and queries the stepped sweep point-to-point trigger source.
This only applies when SWEep:GEN is set to
l
