Defining the number of measurement points
The number of (measurement) points defines the number of measurements performed
during a sweep. Thus, it indirectly sets the frequencies of those measurements. The
distance from one measurement point to the next depends on the currently set fre-
quency range (span divided by number of points). However, the measurement points
are spread evenly over the selected frequency range.
The number of points also defines the resolution and, therefore, the accuracy of the
measurement and affects the measurement time. In the default state, the R&S
FPC
evaluates 201 measurement points. This number allows for fast measurement times
and sufficient accuracy. For measurements with a higher or lower frequency resolution,
you can change the number of measurement points. Note that measurement times
increase if you set a higher number of measurement points.
1. Press the "Sweep" key to open the sweep menu.
2. Select the "Number of Points" menu item.
3. Enter the number of measurement points in the input field.
