SENSe<ch>:SWEep:PULSe:CWTime[:AUTO] <bool>

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.

Parameters

 

<ch>

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

<value>

Start time in seconds.

Note: The start value cannot be negative.

SENSe<ch>:SWEep:PULSe:PROFile:STOP <value>

Applicable Models: N522xB, N524xB, M9485A

(Read-Write) Sets and returns the stop 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.

Parameters
