[:SOURce<hw>]:SWEep:POWer:STEP[:LOGarithmic] <Logarithmic>
The command sets the step width factor for logarithmic sweeps. The next level value of
a sweep is calculated (for STARt < STOP) using the following formula:
New level = Old level + STEP:LOG x Old level
STEP:LOG therefore gives the fraction of the old level. The level is increased by this
fraction for the next sweep step. Usually STEP:LOG is given in decibels, whereby the
suffix dB must always be used.
The command is linked to the command :SWEep:POWer:POINts for STARt < STOP
as follows:
POINts = ((STOP - STARt) / STEP:LOG) + 1
If STEP:LOG changes, the value of POINTs is adjusted. The STARt and STOP value is
retained.
Parameters:
<Logarithmic> float
Range: 0.01 to 139 dB
Increment: 0.01 dB
*RST: 1
Example:
SWE:POW:STEP 10dB
sets the step width for logarithmic sweep spacing to 10 dB of the
previous level in each instance (for a level sweep).
[:SOURce<hw>]:SWEep:RESet[:ALL]
The command resets all active sweeps to the starting point.
Example:
SWE:RES
resets all active sweeps to the starting point.
7.15 STATus Subsystem
This system contains the commands for the status reporting system. *RST
on page 436 has no effect on the status registers.
Queries return the current value of the respective register, which permits a check of the
device status. A decimal value between 0 and 32767 (=2
15
-1) is returned.
The configuration commands set the respective register thus determining which status
changes of the R&S SMBV causes the status registers to be changed. A decimal value
between 0 and 32767 (= 2
15
-1) is set.
