Dependencies
•
This function is not available when signal identification is set to On in External Mixing
•
Neither the knob nor the step keys can be used to change this value. If it is tried, a warning is
given.
•
Clipped to 1001 whenever you are in the Spectrogram View in all models but MXE, clipped to
20001 whenever you are in the Spectrogram View in MXE
•
Grayed out in measurements that do not support swept. Forceful message –221.3200
•
Blanked in modes that do not support Swept
•
Grayed out if Normalize is on; you can’t change the number of sweep points with Normalize
on, as it will erase the reference trace.
Couplings
•
When Source Mode is set to Tracking, and Stepped Tracking is used (as with option ESC), 201
source steps are used to achieve optimal speed. The number of sweep points in the analyzer
is then set to match the number of steps in the source. When Source Mode is set to Off, the
previous number of points (the value that existed when Source Mode was Off previously) is
restored, even if the user has changed the Points value while the Source Mode was set to
Tracking.
•
Whenever the number of sweep points change:
−
All trace data is erased
−
Any traces with Update Off will also go to Display Off (like going from View to Blank in the
older analyzers)
−
Sweep time is re-quantized
−
Any limit lines that are on will be updated
−
If averaging/hold is on, averaging/hold starts over
Preset 1001
State Saved Saved in instrument state
Min Normally the minimum is 1, but in Tracking Source Mode, the minimum value of Points is 101. If
you go into Tracking Source Mode with fewer points than 101, it sets Points to 101.
Max 40001 when not in Tracking Source mode
In Tracking Source mode:
•
in Stepped Tracking (e.g., External Source), 1601 or the maximum number of points supported
by the source, whichever is less
•
in Swept Tracking (e.g., Tracking Generator), 10000
