Auto Couple 3
Agilent N8201A Performance Downconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 26.5 GHz 77
SWE:TYPE:AUTO:RUL DRAN sets the rules for the auto mode to dynamic range.
Auto: Best Speed
Selecting Auto: Best Speed tells the N8201A to choose between FFT or swept analysis
based on the fastest N8201A speed. While Zero Span is selected, this key is grayed out. The
auto-couple settings are kept in memory and are restored whenever leaving Zero Span.
Key Path: Auto Couple, FFT & Sweep
Saved State: Saved in Instrument State
Remote Command:
[:SENSe]:SWEep:TYPE:AUTO:RULes SPEed|DRANge
Selects the rules to use when SWE:TYPE AUTO is selected. This setting, combined with
your current N8201A setup, is used to select either FFT or swept mode.
See “Auto: Best Dynamic Range" on page 76.
Example:
SWEep:TYPE AUTO selects the automatic mode.
SWE:TYPE:AUTO:RUL SPE sets the rules for the auto mode to speed
Manual: Swept
Manually selects swept analysis, so it cannot change automatically to FFT.
While Zero Span is selected, this key is grayed out. The status of the FFT & Swept selection
is saved when entering zero span and is restored when leaving zero span.
