IviRFSigGenSweep Behavior Model

Setting the Sweep Trigger Source attribute to Immediate will continuously generate steps (frequency or power) either from start to stop with fixed increments (steps) or from a list of arbitrary values. The duration of one step is defined with Dwell Time. Setting the Sweep Trigger Source to External or Software Trigger will delay the start of the next step until the specified trigger event occurs.

The following behavior models show the relationship between the IviRFSigGenSweep extension group and RF Signal Generator behavior.

Frequency Sweep/Power Sweep

IviRFSigGenSweep Behavior Model

Setting the Sweep Trigger attribute to Immediate will continuously generate sweeps (either frequency or power sweeps). The duration of one sweep from start to stop is defined with Frequency Sweep Time or Power Sweep Time. Setting the Sweep Trigger attribute to External or Software Trigger will delay the start of the next sweep until the specified trigger event occurs.

Frequency Step/Power Step/List

Setting the Sweep Trigger Source attribute to Immediate will continuously generate steps (frequency or power) either from start to stop with fixed increments (steps) or from a list of arbitrary values. The duration of one step is defined with Dwell Time. Setting the Sweep Trigger Source attribute to External or Software Trigger will delay the start of the next step until the specified trigger event occurs.
