Front-panel sweep options
Option Description
How many times the sweep should repeat. You can select one of the following
options:
 Finite: Set a specific number of times to repeat.
 Infinite: The sweep will repeat until is it aborted.
Sets the source limit for measurements. The instrument cannot source levels that
exceed this limit.
Determines if the sweep is stopped immediately if a limit is exceeded. You can
select one of the following options:
 ON: Abort the sweep if a limit is exceeded.
 OFF: Complete the sweep even if a limit is exceeded.
The source range that is used for the sweep. You can select one of the following
options:
 Best Fixed: The instrument selects a single fixed source range that will
accommodate all the source levels in the sweep. This avoids overshoots
during sweeps.
 Auto: The instrument selects the most sensitive source range for each
source level in the sweep.
 Fixed: The source remains on the range that is set when the sweep is
started. If a sweep point exceeds the source range capability, the source
will output the maximum level for that range.
Setting up a sweep using SCPI commands
To set up a sweep using SCPI commands, you send one of the following commands:
• :SOURce[1]:SWEep:<function>:LINear: Sets up a linear sweep for a fixed number of
measurement points.
• :SOURce[1]:SWEep:<function>:LINear:STEP: Sets up a linear source sweep
configuration list and trigger model with a fixed number of steps.
• :SOURce[1]:SWEep:<function>:LIST: Sets up a sweep based on a configuration list, which
allows you to customize the sweep.
• :SOURce[1]:SWEep:<function>:LOG: Sets up a logarithmic sweep for a set number of
measurement points.
