Description
Sweep time defines how quickly trace data is acquired and
updated to the display. This setting must be fast enough to
provide quick measurement results, but slow enough to allow
the power values at each point to be measured.
Number Points
This field defines the number of data points that the
Spectrum Analyzer gathers during a single measurement
sweep. A higher setting results in more accurate
measurement; however, a higher number of data points may
result in longer acquisition time.
Sweep Type
When set to Auto, the instrument optimizes the Sweep Time
based on the characteristics of the incoming signal.
When set to Manual, a sweep time setting can be entered
using the Sweep Time field.
Sweep Time
This field is enabled when Sweep Type is set to Manual.
The setting allows the user to manually define the sweep
time setting.
When Sweep Type is set to Auto; the field displays the
system defined sweep time setting.
Sweep Mode
This toggle switch selects whether the analyzer performs
signal sweeps continuously, or if the analyzer performs a
single sweep before being switched off.
In Single sweep mode, the measurement is stopped after a
single signal sweep.
In Continuous mode, the analyzer measures continuously,
repeating the signal sweep as long as the analyzer is ON.
