: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.

Sample usage

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

• C#

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();

• Python

visaSession.write(':SENS:FREQ:STAR 7.5kHz;STOP 12.5kHz\n')
visaSession.write(':SENS:SWE:TYPE LOG\n')
visaSession.write(':TRIG:SING\n')
visaSession.query('*OPC?\n')
frequencyValues = visaSession.query(':SENS:FREQ:DATA?\n')
measurementValues = visaSession.query(':CALC:DATA:SDAT?\n')
