R&S SMC100A Command Description
1411.4060.32 6.81 E-1
[SOURce:]SWEep:POWer:POINts <numeric_value>
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.
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 automatically set to 1
dB.’

[SOURce:]SWEep:POWer:SHAPe SAWTooth | TRIangle
The command sets the cycle mode for a sweep sequence (shape).
Parameters: SAWTooth
One sweep runs from the start level to the stop level. The subsequent 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.
Example:
SOUR:SWE:POW:SHAP TRI
'selects the sweep cycle with alternating ascending and descending sweep
directions.

[SOURce:]SWEep:POWer:SPACing:MODE?
The command queries the sweep spacing. The sweep spacing for level sweeps is always linear.
This command is a query command and has no *RST value.
Example:
SWE:POW:SPAC:MODE?
'queries the sweep spacing for a level sweep.
Result: LIN
'linear spacing.
