SENS:IF configuration commands
Applicable Models: N522xB, N524xB, M9485A (Read-Write) This command replaces SENSe:SWEep:PULSe:IFBW[:AUTO]. Sets and returns the state of automatic CW sweep time (used in Pulse Profile mode). This setting is labeled Autoselect Profile Sweep Time on the UI. |
|
Parameters |
|
<ch> |
Channel number of the pulse measurement. If unspecified, value is set to 1. |
<bool> |
Choose from: OFF (or O) - The Sweep Time is not changed automatically. ON (or 1) - In Pulse Profile mode, adjusts the default X-axis start time to zero and the stop time to double the Pulse Width. This allows you to see one complete pulse. |

Applicable Models: N522xB, N524xB, M9485A (Read-Write) Sets and returns the start time of the pulse. Pulse profile measurements provide a time domain (CW frequency) view of the pulse envelope. Profiling is performed using a measurement technique that "walks" a narrow receiver "snapshot" across the width of the pulse. This is analogous to using a camera to take many small snapshots of a wide image, then piecing them together to form a single, panoramic view. |
