"Turbo" sweep
The basic factor behind sweep speed is of course the sample time. The smaller
the sample time, the faster the sweep. However, the selected filter and SPAN
settings also influence sweep speed: the broader the filter, the faster the sweep
- the larger the SPAN, the slower the sweep.
Thusly, fast measurement of broad frequency ranges is only possible with large
filter settings. Simply choose a different RBW setting. Also, don't forget to set
SpTime to a smaller value. However, due to the higher filter bandwidth, the fre-
quency display can be a bit less accurate than with narrower filters. Also, signals
now need to be stronger in order to be still measurable.
Mapping keys with your own parameters and settings
Keys 0 till 9 can be also mapped with custom configurations (including start-/stop
frequency, RBW etc.). Program numbers 100 till 109 correspond to keys 0 till 9
and can be used for assignment to these keys. Simply store the current confi-
guration in one of these program numbers, using the menu entry Setup & Store.
You will then be able to recall these settings at any later time using the corre-
sponding number key. If you want even more convenience, you should use our
PC analysis software "LCS" or „MCS", where you can additionally add practical
notes to your settings.
You can always recall the factory settings using the menu command
"Factor" in the "Setup" menu.
