[SOURce:]SWEep:POWer:MODE AUTO | MANual | STEP
The command sets the cycle mode of the level sweep.
Parameters: AUTO
Each trigger triggers exactly one complete sweep.
MANual
The trigger system is not active. Each level step of the sweep is triggered
individually, either by varying the Current Level value using the rotary knob
under manual control or by means of a POW:MAN command under remote
control. With manual control, the level increases or decreases (depending on
the direction of the rotary encoder) by the value specified under
SOUR:SWE:POW:STEP. With remote control, the level increases by the value
specified under SWEep:POW:STEP which each sent :POW:MAN command,
irrespective the value entered there.
STEP
Each external trigger triggers one sweep step only (Mode Extern Step). The
level increases by the value entered under :SWEep:POWer:STEP.
Example:
SWE:POW:MODE AUTO
'selects Mode Auto for a level sweep.

[SOURce:]SWEep:POWer:POINts <numeric_value>
The command sets the number of steps in a level sweep. The command is linked to the command
:SWEep:POWer:STEP as follows:
POINts = ((STOP - STARt) / STEP:LOG) + 1
If POINTs changes, the value of STEP is adjusted. The STARt and STOP value is retained.
Example:
POW:STAR - 30 dBm 'sets the start frequency to -30 dBm.
POW:STOP - 10 dBm 'sets the stop frequency to -10 dBm.
SWE:POW:POIN 20 'sets 20 sweep steps. The sweep step width (STEP) is
'automatically set to 1 dB.’

The value of :SWE:POW:STEP is
adjusted automatically.

[SOURce:]SWEep:POWer:SPACing:MODE?
The command queries the sweep spacing. The sweep spacing for level sweeps is always linear.
This command is a query command and has no *RST value.
Example:
SWE:POW:SPAC:MODE? 'queries the sweep spacing for a level sweep.
Result: LIN 'linear spacing.
