  • Page 171: List And Sweep Mode

    A signal generated with varying parameters scans a certain range of varying values of a parameter, with defined start and end points, and can be repeated cyclically. The R&S SMA100B supports two basic methods: ● Sweep mode The instrument generates an RF signal which varies its frequency or level values in discrete steps between the start and end values.
  • Page 172 ® List and sweep mode R&S SMA100B Figure 7-2: Schematic representation of a signal generated in list mode (global dwell time) The list mode is especially useful in high-speed measurements with fast changing frequency and level settings. Note that the shown diagrams represent the behaviour in theory. In real signal genera- tion, the instruments usually have a blank time when the frequency or level changes.

  • Page 173: Signal Generation And Triggering In The Sweep And List Modes

    If the dwell time in sweep or list mode is too short or external trigger signals come too fast, the signal generation delays. As the delay increases, the R&S SMA100B signals an overrun, or even stops sweep or list mode signal generation, if the delay gets too long.

    The combined RF sweep functionality processes the signal similar to the Live list mode. The R&S SMA100B sets the frequency and level values simultaneously in the hardware. The difference to the list mode is that the values are not taken from a previ- ously created list, but are calculated using the selected frequency and level ranges, the dwell time and the number of steps.

    About the file system 11 File and data management The R&S SMA100B uses files to save all instrument data. The instrument allows you to save and to load instrument settings, and to import and to export user data for process- ing in another instrument or later.
  • Page 309 The /var/volatile directory serves as a RAM drive and can be used to protect sensitive information. The data is available temporarily. If option R&S SMAB-B85 is installed, the R&S SMA100B maps the user directory to the removable memory. If a memory is mounted, user data is saved there. Otherwise user data is redirected to the volatile memory.
  • Page 310 They are reserved by the operating system. File extensions The R&S SMA100B distinguishes the files according to their extensions; each type of file is assigned a specific file content and also a specific file extension. The extension is usually of no consequence to you since access to the files occurs in the individual dialogs where only the relevant type of file is available.

    Notifications 15 Troubleshooting and notifications The R&S SMA100B distinguishes between various notifications caused by events or functions. It displays a notification in the "Info" line on the screen temporarily, and saves all notifications in a history list. In addition, an event initiates an entry in the event/error queue of the status reporting system.

    Below the error text, there is an explanation to the respective error. 15.3 Device-specific notifications Start-up error If device-specific notifications occur during operation, the R&S SMA100B issues corre- sponding error messages, as listed under Errors during operation. However, problems can also occur during start-up.
