In both power sweep and frequency sweep mode, the meter TRIG OUT to power
NOTE
source TRIG IN connection is optional. You may choose to setup the Dwell time
in the power source step setting to cater the maximum settling time required by
the power meter.

Determine the Right Step to be Set

Number of frequency step can be calculated by using equation below:
where,
Step = Number of frequency step
f
start
f
stop
Interval = Frequency step size
Example
When f
should be set to
Step = (f
86
when buffering is completed. Use FETCh? to retrieve all the buffered
measurement.
Step = (f – f
stop start
= Frequency sweep's start point
= Frequency sweep's stop point

– f + Interval)/Interval
stop start
= (5 GHz – 1 GHz + 0.5 GHz)/0.5 GHz
= 9
+ Interval)/Interval
= 5 GHz with given interval of 0.5 GHz, the Step
