Sweep
When the sweep trigger is set to any of the trigger selections other than
free run, no sweep occurs until the trigger condition is met. Once the
trigger occurs, all segments are swept, completing the entire trace.
NOTE For spectrum analyzers with Option 1DN or Option 1DQ, the tracking
generator must be turned on (
Source, Amplitude (On)) before you set up
the segmented sweep table.
The on/off state of the segmented sweep mode and the segmented sweep
table can be saved as a “state” type file (see “Save” on page 179) or as
part of the power on/preset function (see “Power On/Preset” on
page 204).
NOTE When loading a “state” type file, segmented sweep will not turn on if
any of the parameters in the file contain optional instrument settings
not currently loaded on the analyzer or frequency settings outside the
current range of the analyzer.
Edit Accesses the segmented sweep editor, where a
maximum of thirty-two segments can be defined by the
segment number and the six parameters described
below. Use the data control keys described in the
Agilent ESA Spectrum Analyzer Getting Started Guide
to enter the setting as each parameter is highlighted.
Refer to the “Editor” section above for more
