4.7.2 Sweep
Switches the analyzer between continuous-sweep and single-sweep mode. Pressing the
front-panel Single key will also put the analyzer in single-sweep mode, then take a sweep.
Key Path:
Sweep
State Saved: Saved in instrument state
Factory Preset: Continuous
Remote Command:
:INITiate:CONTinuous OFF|ON|0|1
:INITiate:CONTinuous?
:INITiate:[IMMediate]
Remote Command Notes: This command affects sweep if not in a measurement, and
affects trigger when in a measurement. A “measurement” refers to any of
the functions under the
MEASURE key. This corresponds to continuous
sweep or single sweep operation when not in a measurement, and
continuous measurement or single measurement operation when in a
measurement.
When NOT in a measurement, this command does the following:
• When ON at the completion of each sweep cycle, the sweep system
immediately initiates another sweep cycle.
• When OFF, the sweep system remains in an “idle” state until
CONTinuous is set to ON or an :INITiate[:IMMediate] command is
received. On receiving the :INITiate[:IMMediate] command, it will go
through a single sweep cycle, and then return to the “idle” state.
