Sweep Mode
The R&S SMC Signal Generator offers three different sweep types (frequency sweep, level sweep and
LF sweep) to be activated alternatively. Each type has 6 modes which differ with respect to the sweep
cycle mode (continuous, individual and step-by-step) and triggering mode (automatic, internal and
external).
The LF sweep is activated and configured in the Mod Gen block.
A sweep is set in five basic steps which are shown below taking a frequency sweep as an example:
1. Set the sweep range (Start Freq and Stop Freq or Center Freq and Span).
2. Select linear or logarithmic sweep spacing (Spacing).
3. Set the step width (Step Lin/Log) and dwell time (Dwell Time).
4. Activate the sweep (Mode to Auto, Single, Step or Extern Single, Extern Step).
5. Trigger the sweep, except for Auto mode (Execute Single Sweep, Current Frequency or External
Trigger Signal).
Note:
It is recommended to switch off the GUI update (Setup menu) for optimum sweep performance
especially with short dwell times.
