Set
the
Sweep
Time
to
AUTO
Mode
Auto sweep time mode (the preset instrument mode), maintains the fastest
sweep speed possible for any particular measurement settings.
1.
Press

label.
When AUTO is all capital letters, it indicates that the analyzer is in auto
sweep time mode. If MAN is all capital letters, the analyzer is in manual
sweep time mode.

Wide system bandwidth is recommended for some broadband detection
measurements.
Press

to widen the IF’ bandwidth. As the
bandwidth increases, the sweep time decreases and the trace noise increases.
