Setup Sweep Parameters using SCPI

This Visual Basic program sets up sweep parameters on the Channel 1 measurement.

To run this program, you need:

• An established GPIB interface connection

 See Other SCPI Example Programs

GPIB.Write "SYSTem:PRESet" 'Select the measurement
GPIB.Write "CALCulate:PARameter:SELect 'CH1_S11_1'"
'Set sweep type to linear
GPIB.Write "SENSe1:SWEep:TYPE LIN"

'Set IF Bandwidth to 700 Hz
GPIB.Write "SENSe1:BANDwidth 700"

'Set Center and Span Freq's to 4 GHz
GPIB.Write "SENSe1:FREQuency:CENTer 4ghz"
GPIB.Write "SENSe1:FREQuency:SPAN 4ghz"

'Set number of points to 801
GPIB.Write "SENSe1:SWEep:POINts 801"

'Set sweep generation mode to Analog
GPIB.Write "SENSe1:SWEep:GENeration ANAL"

'Set sweep time to Automatic
GPIB.Write "SENSe1:SWEep:TIME:AUTO ON"

'Query the sweep time
GPIB.Write "SENSe1:SWEep:TIME?
SweepTime = GPIB.Read
