:SENSe:SWEep:TYPE

Description

This commands sets the sweep type to LINEAR or LOGARITHMIC. The calculation for the measurement frequency points is based on this selection.

Syntax Parameter
:SENSe<ch>:SWEep:TYPE { LINear | LOGarithmic }
Parameters accepted format allowed suffixes possible Errors description
<ch> { 1 | empty } none Invalid channel index Currently only one channel is supported. Empty means 1 is used as default.
{ LINear | LOGarithmic } exactly the given options none Illegal parameter value The sweep mode

Options

Options Description
LINear The distance between measurement frequencies is linear.
LOGarithmic The distance between measurement frequencies is logarithmic.

Presets

For presets please refer to Measurement Modes.

Sample usage

Configure and start a logarithmic sweep measurement from 7.5kHz to 12.5kHz.

var visaSession = new TcpipSocket(VISA_RESOURCENAME);
visaSession.RawIO.Write(":SENS:FREQ:STAR 7.5kHz;STOP 12.5kHz\n");
visaSession.RawIO.Write(":SENS:SWE:TYPE LOG\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();
