    :SENSe:SWEep:DWELl

    Description

    This command gets or sets the dwell (DUT settling time) of the sweep. The DUT settling time is the time between applying an input to the DUT and measuring the data. So at each measurement point (each measurement frequency) input is applied, dwell time is waited and afterwards the measurement data is retrieved.

    Syntax Parameter
    :SENSe<ch>:SWEep:DWELl <numeric>
    Parameters accepted format allowed suffixes possible Errors description
    <ch> { 1 | empty } none Undefined header Currently only one channel is supported. Empty means 1 is used as default.
    <numeric> numeric value s none The dwell or DUT settling time in s (seconds).
    Syntax Response
    :SENSe<ch>:SWEep:DWELl? <numeric>
    Parameters accepted format description
    <ch> { 1 | empty } Currently only one channel is supported. Empty means 1 is used as default.
    Response value description
    <numeric> The dwell or DUT settling time in s (seconds).

    Sample usage

    Configure and start a sweep measurement with a dwell of 1 second.

    • C#
    • Python
    var visaSession = new TcpipSocket(VISA_RESOURCENAME);
    visaSession.RawIO.Write(":SENS:FREQ:STAR 10kHz;STOP 20kHz\n");
    visaSession.RawIO.Write(":SENS:SWE:POIN 500\n");
    visaSession.RawIO.Write(":SENS:SWE:DWEL 1\n");
    visaSession.RawIO.Write(":TRIG:SING\n");
    // wait for the measurement to finish
    visaSession.RawIO.Write("*OPC?\n");
    visaSession.RawIO.ReadString();
    visaSession.RawIO.Write(":SENS:FREQ:DATA?\n");
    var frequencyValues = visaSession.RawIO.ReadString();
    visaSession.RawIO.Write(":CALC:DATA:SDAT?\n");
    var measurementValues = visaSession.RawIO.ReadString();
    

    Input:

    visaSession.write(':SENS:FREQ:STAR 10kHz;STOP 20kHz\n')
    visaSession.write(':SENS:SWE:POIN 500\n')
    visaSession.write(':SENS:SWE:DWEL 1\n')
    visaSession.write(':TRIG:SING\n')
    visaSession.query('*OPC?\n')
    frequencyValues = visaSession.query(':SENS:FREQ:DATA?\n')
    measurementValues = visaSession.query(':CALC:DATA:SDAT?\n')
