Parameters:
<Mode> AUTO | MANual | STEP
AUTO
Each trigger triggers exactly one complete sweep.
MANual
The trigger system is not active. Each frequency step of the
sweep is triggered individually, either by varying the "Current
Frequency" value using the rotary knob under manual control or
by means of a FREQ:MAN command under remote control. With
manual control, the frequency increases or decreases (depend-
ing on the direction of the rotary encoder) by the value specified
under FREQ:STEP:INCRement. With remote control, the fre-
quency is set directly with the command :FREQ:MAN.
STEP
Each trigger triggers one sweep step only (Mode Single Step).
The frequency increases by the value entered under
SOUR:SWE:FREQ:STEP:LIN (linear spacing) or ...:STEP:
LOG (logarithmic spacing).

AUTO
Example:
SWE:MODE AUTO
selects Mode Auto for a frequency sweep at the RF output.
Manual operation: See " Mode - RF Frequency Sweep " on page 277
[:SOURce<hw>]:SWEep[:FREQuency]:POINts <Points>
Determines the number of steps for the RF frequency sweep within the sweep range.
This parameter always applies to the currently set sweep spacing and correlates with
the step size as follows:
●
for linear sweeps
freq_points = (f
SPAN
/ step_lin) + 1
To determine the step size, use the command SWE:STEP[:LIN].
●
logarithmic sweeps and f
STARt
< f
STOP
freqq_points = ((log f
STOP
- log f
STARt
) / log step_log) + 1
To determine the logarithmic step size, use the command SWE:STEP:LOG.
If you change the number of sweep points, the step size changes accordingly. The
sweep range remains the same.

<Points> integer
