The sweep type determines how the stimulus range is scanned:
•By frequency (linear frequency sweeps, logarithmic frequency sweeps or segment sweep mode).
•By power (linear power sweep).
By default, the stimulus sweep starts from the start value of sweep range and stops at the stop value. In the reverse sweep mode, the sweep starts from the stop frequency and stops at the start frequency. The function applies to any sweep type (frequency, power, segment).
This mode allows measuring the raw vector (amplitude and phase) data at a single CW frequency, as well as the ratio of modules and the phase difference of the signals between the two measurement ports (A/B or B/A measurement). For a detail description of voltmeter see Vector Voltmeter.
The channel to which the function is applied must be preselected as active (See Selection of Active Trace/Channel).
To set the sweep type, use the following softkeys: Stimulus > Sweep Type Then select the sweep type: •Lin Freq — Linear frequency sweep •Log Freq — Logarithmic frequency sweep •Segment — Segment frequency sweep •Power Sweep — Power sweep •Voltmeter — Vector Voltmeter Mode •Reverse Scan — Reverse Sweep Mode |
