Zero Span
A sweep in the time domain at the specified (center) frequency, i.e. the frequency span
is set to zero. The display shows the time on the x-axis and the signal level on the y-
axis, as on an oscilloscope. On the time axis, the grid lines correspond to 1/10 of the
current sweep time.
Use the general measurement settings to configure the measurement, e.g. via the
"Overview" (see Chapter 8, "Common Measurement Settings", on page 305).
Most result evaluations can also be used for zero span measurements, although some
functions (e.g. markers) may work slightly differently and some may not be available. If
so, this will be indicated in the function descriptions (see Chapter 9, "Common Analysis
and Display Functions", on page 412).
Note: Auto measurement. Use the Auto All function to determine the required mea-
surement parameters automatically.
The following settings are determined:
●
Center frequency
●
RBW: determined signal bandwidth * 2
●
No gating

All Functions Off
Switches off all measurement functions and returns to a basic frequency sweep.
Selecting "Frequency Sweep" has the same effect.
7.2.2 How to Perform a Basic Sweep Measurement
The following step-by-step instructions demonstrate how to perform basic sweep mea-
surements.
For remote operation, see Chapter 14.15.1, "Programming Example: Performing a
Basic Frequency Sweep", on page 1199.
