SCAN
The RUN SCAN softkey starts the frequency scan with the selected
settings. The HOLD SCAN submenu is displayed instead of the menu
shown before the scan is started.
At the beginning of the scan, R&S ESCI sets up the diagram as specified
in the scan table and starts the scan in the selected mode (SINGLE or
CONTINUOUS). With SINGLE selected, R&S ESCI performs a single
scan and stops at the end frequency. With CONTINUOUS selected, the
scan is performed continuously until it is deliberately stopped.
The measurement can be interrupted with HOLD SCAN or stopped with
STOP SCAN. The two softkeys are displayed instead of the menu shown
before the scan is started.
If a transducer set is defined with points of changeover, the scan
automatically stops at the frequencies of the new subrange of the
transducer set and the user may exchange the transducer.
The following message informs the user that the limit has been reached:
TDS Range # reached, CONTINUE / BREAK
He can continue the scan at the point of change over by confirming the
message (CONTINUE) or he can switch off the transducer (BREAK).
IEC/IEEE-bus command INITiate2
HOLD
SCAN
The HOLD SCAN softkey interrupts the scan.
The scan stops at the frequency at which it was interrupted until it
is continued with the CONT AT REC FREQ or CONTINUE AT
HOLD softkeys.
While the scan is stopped, the receiver settings can be changed,
e.g. for a detailed analysis of the recorded trace.
IEC/IEEE-bus command :HOLD
CONT AT
REC FREQ
With the CONT AT REC FREQ softkey the scan is continued at
the current receiver frequency when the receiver frequency is
lower than the frequency at which the scan was interrupted.
Otherwise the scan continues at the frequency at which it was
interrupted.
The scan is always continued with the settings in the scan table.
IEC/IEEE-bus command :INITiate2:CONMeasure
CONTINUE
AT HOLD
With the CONT AT HOLD softkey the scan is continued where it
was interrupted. The scan is always continued with the settings in
the scan table.
IEC/IEEE-bus command --
STOP
SCAN
The STOP SCAN softkey stops the scan. Upon restart, scanning
starts at the beginning. The results of the performed
measurements are lost.
