Sweep Time / Auto
Varies the measurement time for a sweep or delays the start of each sweep.
●
"Sweep Time" is the total measurement time for the sweep. The minimum possible
sweep time is equal to the estimated value in "Auto" mode. Setting a larger sweep
time is equivalent to defining a Meas Delay before each partial measurement.
●
"Auto" minimizes the sweep time. The Meas Delay is set to 0 s. "Sweep Time" indi-
cates the estimated sweep time, depending on the current measurement settings.
The "Sweep Time" and "Meas Delay" values are maintained until changed explicitly
if "Auto" is switched off.
If a time sweep is active, "Sweep Time" cannot be modified. The analyzer uses the
previously defined sweep time settings.
Remote command:
[SENSe<Ch>:]SWEep:TIME
[SENSe<Ch>:]SWEep:TIME:AUTO
Meas Delay
Adds a delay time before the start of every partial measurement. See Chapter 4.1.4.1,
"Partial measurements and driving mode", on page 88 .
"Meas Delay" is not available while a "Time" or "CW Mode" sweep is active.
As an alternative to increasing the delay (and thus the total sweep time), it is possible
to select "Alternated" driving mode; see "Driving Mode" on page 632.
Remote command:
[SENSe<Ch>:]SWEep:DWELl
All Partial Meas'ments / First Partial Meas'ment
If Meas Delay is set to a value > 0, this setting allows you to define how the measure-
ment delay is applied:
●
If "All Partial Meas'ments" is selected, the delay time is added before each partial
measurement. For a complete 2 port S-parameter measurement, the delay must be
added twice per sweep point.
●
If "First Partial Meas'ment" is selected, the delay time is added once per sweep
point only, irrespective of the measured quantities and the number of partial mea-
surements. The sweep time increases by the measurement delay times the num-
ber of sweep points.
Tip: A delay time before the start of each partial measurement increases the accuracy,
in particular for measurements on DUTs with long settling times (e.g. quartz oscillators,
SAW filters). Select "First Partial Meas'ment" if the DUT does not require an additional
settling time due to the interchange of source and receive ports.

Sweep Time Mode
This control is only available if option R&S ZNA-K28 is installed. It is only enabled if
Controlled Timing is active.
