[:SENSe]:SWEep Subsystem
This subsystem includes commands that affect the sweep parameters of the instrument.
IF Bandwidth
[:SENSe]:SWEep:IFBW
Description
Sets the IF Bandwidth. The <freq value> in Hz must be one of the following 13 values:
100000|50000|20000|10000|5000|2000|1000|500|200|
100|50|20|10
The query form of this command returns the frequency in Hz.
Syntax
[:SENSe]:SWEep:IFBW <freq value>
[:SENSe]:SWEep:IFBW?
Cmd Parameter
<char> <freq value>
Query Response
<char> <freq value>
Range
10 to 100000 Hz
Default Value
10000
Default Unit
Hz
Example
Sets the IF Bandwidth frequency to 20 Hz:
:SENS:SWE:IFBW 20
Sets the IF Bandwidth frequency to 100 kHz:
:SENS:SWE:IFBW 100000

Shift‑3 (Sweep), IFBW
 
Number of Sweep Points
[:SENSe]:SWEep:POINts
Description
Sets the total number of measurement points per sweep. Note that a sweep with a lower number of data points is completed in less time than a sweep with a higher number of data points.
Syntax
[:SENSe]:SWEep:POINts <integer>
[:SENSe]:SWEep:POINts?
Cmd Parameter
<NR1> <integer>
Query Response
<NR1> <integer>
Range
2 to 4001
Default Value
201
Front Panel Access
Shift‑3 (Sweep), Data Points
Sweep Type
[:SENSe]:SWEep:TYPE
Description
Sets the sweep type. The query version of this command returns “SING” if current sweep is set to single sweep, returns “CONT” if set to continuous sweep, and returns “EXT” if set to external trigger. Note that setting the sweep type to SINGle sets the sweep to hold.
Syntax
[:SENSe]:SWEep:TYPE SINGle|CONTinuous|EXTernal
[:SENSe]:SWEep:TYPE?
Cmd Parameter
<char> SINGle|CONTinuous|EXTernal
Query Response
<char> SING|CONT|EXT
Default Value
CONT
