SCPI.SENSe(Ch).SWEep.GENeration

Object type

Property (Read-Write)

SCPI.SENSe(Ch).SWEep.GENeration = Param

Param = SCPI.SENSe(Ch).SWEep.GENeration

This command sets/gets the sweep mode of selected channel (Ch).

When the sweep type is the power sweep (POW specified with the SCPI.SENSe(Ch).SWEep.TYPE object), with power calibration ON (ON specified with the SCPI.SOURce(Ch).POWer.PORT(Pt).CORRection.STATe object), or the power slope value is other than 0 and the power slope function is ON (ON specified with the SCPI.SOURce(Ch).POWer.LEVel.SLOPe.STATe object), if you execute this object to try to set the sweep mode to swept mode, an error occurs and the sweep mode is automatically set to step mode.

Parameter	Param
Description	Sweep mode
Data type	Character string type (String)
Range	Select from either of the following: "STEPped": Sets the sweep mode to the stepped mode. "ANALog": Sets the sweep mode to the swept mode. "FSTepped": Sets the sweep mode to the stepped mode. This parameter is provided because of its command compatibility with E5070B/E5071B. "FANalog": Sets the sweep mode to the swept mode. This parameter is provided because of its command compatibility with E5070B/E5071B.
Preset value	"STEPped"
