SENSe<cnum>:IMD:SWEep:TYPE <char>

Applicable Models: N522xB, N524xB

(Read-Write) Sets and returns the sweep type for the IMD measurement.

Parameters

 

<cnum>

Channel number of the IMD measurement. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

<char>

Sweep type. Choose from:

  • FCENter - (Center Frequency) Maintaining a constant tone spacing (DeltaF) and tone powers (P1 and P2), the center frequency (FC) is swept from Start to Stop.

  • DFRequency - (Delta Frequency) The center frequency (FC) is held constant. The tone spacing is increased from StartDeltaF to StopDeltaF.

  • POWer - The main tone frequencies are specified as either F1 and F2, or as FC and DeltaF. These frequencies are held constant while the power of each tone is stepped from the Start Power to the Stop Power.

  • CW - The main tone frequencies (F1 and F2) and power levels (P1 and P2) are held constant. Measurements are taken for the specified Number of Points.

  • SEGMent - Not available for IMDx. Same as FCenter sweep, except that the center frequencies for the sweep are constructed using the standard segment sweep commands.

  • LOPower - All frequencies are fixed while the LO power is swept from Start to Stop power.

For each sweep type, use the commands that follow:

FCENTer:

DFRequency

POWer

CW

SEGMent - Not available for IMDx.

LOPower - IMDx ONLY
