[:SOURce<hw>]:SWEep:POWer:POINts <Points>
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.
Parameters:
<Points> float
*RST: 20dB
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 automati-
cally set to 1 dB.
[:SOURce<hw>]:SWEep:POWer:RUNNing?
Queries the current state of the level sweep mode.
Return values:
<State> 0 | 1 | OFF | ON
Example:
SWE:POW:RUNN?
Response "1": signal generation in level sweep active.
Usage: Query only
[:SOURce<hw>]:SWEep:POWer:SHAPe <Shape>
The command sets the cycle mode for a sweep sequence (shape).
Parameters:
<Shape> SAWTooth | TRIangle
SAWTooth
One sweep runs from the start level to the stop level. The subse-
quent sweep starts at the start level again, i.e. the shape of sweep
sequence resembles a sawtooth.
TRIangle
One sweep runs from start to stop level and back, i.e. the shape
of the sweep resembles a triangle.Each subsequent sweep starts
at the start level again.
*RST: SAWTooth
Example:
SOUR:SWE:POW:SHAP TRI
selects the sweep cycle with alternating ascending and descend-
ing sweep directions.
