5.16.6.5 Video BW
Video BW is used to set the video bandwidth of the analyzer. When Auto is selected the
analyzer determines the optimum setting, while Man enables you to determine the setting.
Key Path:
Meas Setup, Range Table
Factory Preset: Auto
Knob Increment: Steps through the available video bandwidth filters.
Step Key
Increment: Steps through the available video bandwidth filters.
Range: Video bandwidth range of your analyzer.
History: Added with firmware revision A.03.00
Remote Command:
This parameter can send up to 10 values. The location in the list sent corresponds to the
range the value is associated with. Missing values are not permitted, for example, if you
want to change values 2 and 6, you must send all values up to 6. Subsequent values will
remain as they were.
[:SENSe]:HARMonics:RANGe[:LIST]:BWIDth|BANDwidth:VIDeo:AUTO OFF|ON|0|1
selects the mode.
[:SENSe]:HARMonics:RANGe[:LIST]:BWIDth|BANDwidth:VIDeo <integer>
The query for this parameter will always return 10 values.
[:SENSe]:HARMonics:RANGe[:LIST]:BWIDth|BANDwidth:VIDeo:AUTO?
[:SENSe]:HARMonics:RANGe[:LIST]:BWIDth|BANDwidth:VIDeo?
5.16.6.6 Sweep Time
Sweep Time is used to set the sweep time of the analyzer. If the range is zero span and Sweep
Time
is set to Auto, the sweep time will be 200 divided by the resolution bandwidth or 10 ms,
whichever is greater. If the range is non zero span and
Sweep Time is set to Auto,the
analyzer determines the optimum setting.
Sweep Time set to Man enables you to determine
the setting.
Key Path:
Meas Setup, Range Table
Factory Preset: Auto
Knob Increment: 1%
Step Key
Increment: 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 7.5, 10, ...
Range: Sweep time range of your analyzer.
