Description
Sets the classical sweep detection mode for Spectrum Analysis on the indicated channel.
Returns the classical sweep detection mode for Spectrum Analysis on the indicated channel.
• PEAK: The measurement with the maximum linear magnitude of the measurements in the subrange of the given parameter will be displayed. This is the default selection.
• MINimum: The measurement with the minimum linear magnitude of the measurements in the subrange of the given parameter will be displayed. This is useful for very dense signals in the sweep range of interest.
• MEAN: The arithmetic mean of the linear magnitudes of the given parameter will be used as the result for the subrange. This can also be useful for noise-like or stochastic signals or those that are otherwise very dense
• RMS: The root-mean-square value of the linear magnitudes of the given parameter will be used as the result for the subrange. This can be useful for noise-like signals.

Sets the external module control type for Spectrum Analysis on the indicated channel.
Returns the external module control type for Spectrum Analysis on the indicated channel.
• OFF = All programmatic control of the external module is turned OFF.
• MMW = Programmatic control of a mmWave module is turned ON.

• If a Test Set is attached, cannot determine the Test Set power state.
• If a Test Set is attached, cannot change the Test Set power state (i.e. the command cannot turn the Test Set on/off).
• If a Test Set is attached, cannot determine the Test Set type.

:SENSe{1-16}:SA:MODE <char>
:SENSe{1-16}:SA:MODE?
Description
Sets the sweep mode for Spectrum Analysis on the indicated channel. This selects how the instrument will actually sweep over the requested frequency range.
Returns the sweep mode for Spectrum Analysis on the indicated channel.
• VNA: In this ‘VNA-like’ mode, the instrument will measure only at the points in the frequency list (and segmented sweep is available). Thus, signals not precisely at those points will not be seen. This mode is fast and ideal when the frequencies of interest are known.
• CLASSical: In the ‘Classical’ mode, all frequencies in the range are scanned with adjacent RBW-sized chunks. This is more like a traditional spectrum analyzer and signals will not be missed, but it can be a much slower measurement.
Sets the internal source phase synchronization state for the indicated Spectrum Analysis channel. When ON, this forces a repeatable (sweep to sweep) phase relationship between source 1 and source 2 (even in mm-wave modes) at the expense of some increase in trace noise.
Returns the internal source phase synchronization state for the indicated Spectrum Analysis channel.
Sets the internal source spur reduction state for the indicated Spectrum Analysis channel.
Returns the internal source spur reduction state for the indicated Spectrum Analysis channel.

:SENSe{1-16}:SA:SWEep:POINt <NRf>
:SENSe{1-16}:SA:SWEep:POINt?
Description
Sets the number of measurement points for the indicated Spectrum Analysis channel.
Returns the number of measurement points for the indicated Spectrum Analysis channel.
Cmd Parameters
<NRf> The input parameter is a unitless number.
Query Parameters
NA
Query Output
<NR1> The output parameter is an integer.
Range
Range depends on the maximum points setting:
• When 25,000 points is set, range = 2 to 25,000 points.
• When 100,000 points is set, range = 2 to 100,000 points.
When image rejection is on, the upper point count limit is ½ that shown above (i.e., 12500 or 50000). When in classical mode, there are no additional point count limits, but, because multiple measurements are done between display points (spaced by the resolution bandwidth), total sweep times are longer and typically fewer display points are used.
Default Value
201
