Sweep/Control

the current setup; but on occasion you may wish to limit the FFT Width to be narrower than that
which the instrument would have set. 

This function does not allow you to widen the FFT Width beyond that which the instrument might have
set; it only allows you to narrow it.  You might do this to improve the dynamic range of the measurement
or eliminate nearby spurs from your measurement.

Note that the FFT Width setting will have no effect unless in an FFT sweep.

Key Path

Sweep/Control, Sweep Setup

Remote Command

[:SENSe]:SWEep:FFT:WIDTh <real>

[:SENSe]:SWEep:FFT:WIDTh?

Example

SWE:FFT:WIDT 167 kHz  sets this function to “<167.4 kHz”

Notes

The parameter is in units of frequency.

For values sent from SCPI, the analyzer chooses the smallest value that is at least as great as
the requested value.

Examples:  

Parameter 3.99 kHz is sent over SCPI.  Analyzer chooses ≤4.01 kHz

Parameter 4.02 kHz is sent over SCPI.  Analyzer chooses ≤28.81 kHz

Parameter 8 MHz is sent over SCPI.  Analyzer chooses 10 MHz 

Dependencies

In some models, the analog prefilters are not provided.  In these models the FFT Width function
is always in Auto.  The FFT Width key is blanked in these models, and the SCPI commands are
accepted without error but have no effect.

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.

Couplings

The FFT Width affects the ADC Dither function (see Meas Setup key) and the point at which the
instrument switches from Swept to FFT acquisition.

Preset

The Preset is Auto, but Preset will also pick Best Dynamic Range and hence this function will be
set to ~Maximum

State Saved

Saved in instrument state

Min

4.01 kHz

Max

The maximum available FFT width is dependent on the IF Bandwidth option.  The maxim mum
available width is:

Option B10, 10 MHz;

Option B25, 25 MHz,

Option B40, 40 MHz.
