Glossary Item Box

Gets or sets the requested equivalent sweep time for power spectrum measurements or acquisition length for zero span measurements.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public MustOverride Property EquivalentSweepTime As Double
C# 
public abstract double EquivalentSweepTime {get; set;}
C++/CLI 
public:
abstract property double EquivalentSweepTime {
   double get();
   void set (    double value);
}

Remarks

For power spectrum measurements this is the time duration that would result in measurement results with the same equivalent variance as that of a measurement made using swept hardware with the sweep time set to this value. The actual acquisition and measurement time is typically much shorter than the this value. Use Gate Length if a specific acquisition time is needed.

For zero span measurements this is the time from the middle of the first point to the middle of the last point for Points. If the number of points is 1 then it is the width of the point.

When IsEquivalentSweepTimeAuto is set to true then this property is ignored.

Setting this property will coerce IsEquivalentSweepTimeAuto to false when not in zero span mode.

ActualEquivalentSweepTime can be used to get the actual equivalent sweep time that the measurement used which may be different from this requested equivalent sweep time.
