R&S ESU Instrument Functions
Analyzer Mode
SINGLE
SWEEP
The SINGLE SWEEP softkey starts n sweeps after triggering. The number of
sweeps is determined by the SWEEP COUNT softkey.
When working in the split-screen mode, the frequency ranges of the two windows
are swept one after the other.
If a trace is swept using TRACE AVERAGE or MAXHOLD, the value set via the
SWEEP COUNT softkey determines the number of sweeps. If 0 has been entered,
one sweep is performed.
Remote command: INIT:CONT OFF
CONTINUE
SGL SWEEP
The CONTINUE SGL SWEEP softkey repeats the number of sweeps set under
SWEEP COUNT, however without first deleting the trace.
This is particularly of interest when using the functions TRACE AVERAGE and
MAXHOLD, if previously recorded measurement results are to be taken into consid-
eration for averaging / maximum search.
If SGL SWEEP DISP OFF is active, the screen is switched off also during repeated
sweeps.
Remote command: INIT:CONM
SWEEPTIME
MANUAL
The SWEEPTIME MANUAL softkey activates the window for entering the sweep
time manually (see also BW menu).
Remote command: SWE:TIME 10s
SWEEPTIME
AUTO
The SWEEPTIME AUTO softkey activates the automatic selection of the sweep time
as a function of the bandwidth of the resolution and video filters (see also BW
menu).
Remote command: SWE:TIME:AUTO ON
SWEEP
COUNT
The SWEEP COUNT softkey activates the window for the entry of the number of
sweeps to be performed by R&S ESU after a single sweep has been started. If
Trace Average, Max Hold or Min Hold is activated, this also determines the number
of averaging or maximum search procedures.
Example
[TRACE1: MAX HOLD]
[SWEEP: SWEEP COUNT: {10} ENTER]
[SINGLE SWEEP]
R&S ESU performs the Max Hold function over 10 sweeps.
The permissible range for the sweep count is 0 to 32767. For sweep count = 0 or 1,
one sweep is performed. For trace averaging in the continuous-sweep mode,
R&S ESU performs running averaging over 10 sweeps if sweep count = 0; if sweep
count = 1, no averaging, maxhold or minhold is performed.
The sweep count is valid for all the traces in a diagram.
