3.2 Swept SA Measurement
Note that because the above couplings depend on which traces are active, they are
re-examined whenever any trace goes active or inactive, except when this leaves no
traces active. Transitioning to the state where no traces are active should not affect
the couplings; in that way, the annotation will always reflect the state of the last
trace which was active.
Not also that some detectors are not available in some measurements, but because
of the way the above rules that does not change the logic of the rules.
Span:3dB RBW
Selects the ratio between "Span" on page 287 and "Res BW" on page 247.
Normally, Span:3dB RBW (Auto) selects a Span: 3dB Res BW ratio of 106:1. If you
manually enter the ratio, the toggle on Span:3dB RBW changes to Man. This
enables you to manually select ratios more suitable for certain measurements.
When Span:3dB RBW is manually selected, it may be returned to the coupled state
by setting the toggle on RBW:3dB RBW back to Auto. This may also be done by
pressing "Auto Couple" on page 2017, or by performing a Preset.
Remote Command
[:SENSe]:FREQuency:SPAN:BANDwidth[:RESolution]:RATio <integer>
[:SENSe]:FREQuency:SPAN:BANDwidth[:RESolution]:RATio?
Example Set a ratio of 200:1, and turn off Auto coupling:
:FREQ:SPAN:BAND:RAT 200
Notes The values shown in this table reflect the conditions after Mode Preset
Dependencies In the Swept SA measurement, this is grayed-out when the EMC Standard is set to CISPR or MIL,
since Res BW is coupled to Center Frequency rather than Span in this case
If the SCPI command is sent, the command is acted upon, but does not affect the current
measurement
