3-147. Adaptive Sweep.
3-148. One of the inconveniences associated with low
frequency spectrum analyzers is the extremely slow sweep
rates required when using narrow bandwidths. For example,
to sweep over a 200 Hz spectrum using a 1 Hz bandwidth,
the optimum sweep time setting is 50 seconds per division.
Tiris makes the overall measurement time 500 seconds or
about 8 minutes. If a sweep time setting of 200 seconds per
division is used, the total measurement time is 2,000
seconds or 33 minutes.
