62 Agilent X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference
Basic Function Commands
List/Sweep Subsystem ([:SOURce])
This command enables you to set the sweep time for a sweep in seconds. If this command is
executed while the signal generator is in automatic sweep time mode, the manual sweep time mode
is activated and the new sweep time value is applied. The sweep time cannot be set to a value faster
than what the automatic mode provides.
The sweep time is the duration of the sweep from the start frequency to the stop frequency. It does
not include the bandcross time that occurs during a sweep or the retrace time that occurs between
sweep repetitions.
Example
:SWE:TIME .250
The preceding example sets the sweep time to 250 milliseconds.

[:SOURce]:SWEep:TIME:AUTO?
This command enables you to set the sweep time mode for a sweep.
The sweep time is the duration of the sweep from the start frequency to the stop frequency. It does
not include the bandcross time that occurs during a sweep or the retrace time that occurs between
sweep repetitions.
ON (1) This choice enables the signal generator to automatically calculate and set the
fastest allowable sweep time.
OFF (0) This choice enables you to select the sweep time. The sweep time cannot be set to
a value faster than what the automatic mode provides. To set the sweep time refer
to“:SWEep:TIME” on page 61.
Example
:SWE:TIME:AUTO 0
The preceding example sets the sweep time to manual allowing you to select a sweep time.
