6  RLC Swept SA Measurement Front-Panel & SCPI Reference

Sweep/Control

Swept Sweep Type (either manually or automatically chosen) and not when in FFT sweeps.

See

"More Information" on page 1155

.

Key Path

Sweep/Control, Sweep Setup

Remote Command

[:SENSe]:SWEep:TIME:AUTO:RULes NORMal|ACCuracy|SRESponse

[:SENSe]:SWEep:TIME:AUTO:RULes?

Example

SWE:TIME:AUTO:RUL ACC

Dependencies

In Zero Span, this key is irrelevant and cannot be accessed (because the whole Sweep Setup
menu is grayed out in Zero Span), however its settings can be changed remotely with no error
indication.

Grayed out in FFT sweeps. Pressing the key while the instrument is in FFT sweep generates an
advisory message. The SCPI is acted upon if sent, but  has no effect other than to change the
readout on the key, as long as the analyzer is in an FFT sweep.

:SWEep:TIME:AUTO:MODE SRESponse

This legacy command is aliased  to :SWEep:TIME:AUTO:RULes SRESponse

:SWEep:TIME:AUTO:MODE SANalyzer

This legacy command is aliased  to :SWEep:TIME:AUTO:RULes NORMal

Backwards
Compatibility SCPI

:SWEep:TIME:AUTO:MODE?

This legacy query is aliased to :SWEep:TIME:RULes?, so it will match for SRESponse but not for
SANalyzer

Notes

The old Auto Sweep Time command was the same

[:SENSe]:SWEep:TIME:AUTO:RULes NORMal|ACCuracy

so it still works although it now has a third parameter (SRESponse).

The old Sweep Coupling command was

[:SENSe]:SWEep:TIME:AUTO:MODE SRESponse|SANalyzer and it is aliased as below:

Initial S/W Revision

Prior to A.02.00

More Information

The first set of rules is called SA – Normal. Sweep Time Rules is set to SA-Normal on a Preset or Auto
Couple

. These rules give optimal sweep times at a lossof accuracy. Note that this means that in the

Preset or Auto Coupled state, instrument amplitude accuracy specifications do not apply.
