Sweep Setup

Lets you set the sweep functions that control features such as sweep type and time.
Key Path
Dependencies
Initial S/W Revision
Sweep Time is coupled primarily to Span and RBW. Center Frequency, VBW,
and the number of sweep points also can have an effect. So changing these
parameters may change the sweep time.
The Sweep Time used upon entry to Zero Span is the same as the Sweep Time
that was in effect before entering Zero Span. The Sweep Time can be changed
while in Zero Span. Upon leaving Zero Span, the Auto/Man state of Sweep
Time that existed before entering Zero Span is restored.
If Sweep Time was in Auto before entering Zero Span, or if it is set to Auto
while in zero span (which can happen via remote command or if
is pressed) it returns to Auto and recouples when returning to non-zero spans.
If Sweep Time was in Man before entering Zero Span, it returns to Man when
returning to non-zero spans, and any changes to Sweep Time that were made
while in Zero Span are retained in the non-zero span (except where
constrained by minimum limits, which are different in and out of zero span).
The preset Sweep Time value is hardware dependent since Sweep Time
presets to "Auto".
Saved in instrument state
in zero span: 1 μs
in swept spans: 1 ms
in Stepped Tracking (as with option ESC): same as auto sweep time
(in Swept Tracking, with Tracking Generator option T03 or T07, the
minimum sweep time is 1 ms, but the Meas Uncal indicator is turned on for
sweep times faster than 50 ms)
in zero span: 6000 s
in swept spans: 4000 s
Meas Uncal is Bit 0 in the STATus:QUEStionable:INTegrity:UNCalibrated
register

Sweep/Control
The whole Sweep Setup menu is grayed out in Zero Span, however, the
settings in the menus under Sweep Setup can be changed remotely with no
error indication.
Grayed out in measurements that do not support swept mode.
Blanked in modes that do not support swept mode
