Calculates the measurement time the HW will need to execute the current sweep.

Declaration

double CalculateMeasurementTime()

Returns

Type	Description
System.Double	The time in seconds.

Remarks

This calculation does include the actual measurement time, the DUT delay and detector measurements, but NOT e.g. switching time for e.g. shaped attenuators.

ConfigureCustomSweep(ref Double[])

void ConfigureCustomSweep(ref double[] frequencies)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Double[]	frequencies	The frequencies.

ConfigureSinglePoint(Double)

Configures the single point measurement.

Declaration

void ConfigureSinglePoint(double frequency)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Double	frequency	The frequency.

ConfigureSweep(Double, Double, Int32, SweepMode)

Configures the sweep.

Declaration

void ConfigureSweep(double startFrequency, double stopFrequency, int numberOfPoints, SweepMode sweepMode)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Double	startFrequency	The start frequency.
System.Double	stopFrequency	The stop frequency.
System.Int32	numberOfPoints	The number of frequency points.
SweepMode	sweepMode	The sweep mode.

Dispose()
