R&S SMC100A Sweep Mode
1411.4060.32 4.69 E-4
Step
Sets a step-by-step sweep cycle.
If this mode is activated, the cursor moves to the
value displayed for Current Freq. Any variation to
the Current Freq value triggers a sweep step. The
step width is set below at entry field Step Lin or
Step Log.
If a different sweep mode was activated prior to the
Step mode, the current sweep is stopped. The Step
sweep starts at the current RF frequency.
The Reset button resets the sweep to the start
frequency.
Remote-control commands:
SOUR:SWE:FREQ:MODE MAN
SOUR:FREQ:MODE SWE
SOUR:SWE:FREQ:SPAC LIN
SOUR:SWE:FREQ:STEP:LIN 0.5E4
SOUR:FREQ:MAN 1E6
The value entered with command
SOUR:SWE:FREQ:STEP:LIN|LOG sets the step
width. The value entered with command
SOUR:FREQ:MAN has no effect, the command only
triggers the next sweep step. However, the value
has to be in the currently set sweep range (start to
stop). In remote control only a step-by-step sweep
from start to stop frequency is possible.
Extern Single
Sets a single sweep cycle. The sweep is triggered
by an external trigger signal.
If a different sweep mode was activated prior to the
Extern Single mode, the current sweep is stopped.
The Extern Single sweep always starts at the start
frequency when triggered.
The Reset button resets the sweep to the start
frequency.
The external trigger signal is input at the rear of the
instrument (BNC connector INST TRIG).
