Making an Attenuation Sweep

The Automatic Sweep

3.2 The Automatic Sweep

An automatic sweep is one where stepping from one attenuation
factor to the next is done by the instrument.

Setting Up an Automatic Sweep

There are four parameters for the automatic sweep

•

START

is the attenuation factor at which the sweep begins.

•

STOP

is the attenuation factor that ends the sweep. If

START

and

STEP

are such that the sweep does not end exactly at

STOP

, then the sweep ends at the immediately previous value.

•

STEP

is the size of the attenuation factor change. This value is

always positive, even for a sweep of decreasing attenuation
factor.

STEP

cannot be set to a value greater than the difference

between

START

and

STOP

•

DWELL

is the time taken for each attenuation factor.

N O T E

The dwell time includes the time it takes for the filter attenuation to
change. The time taken to change depends on the size of the attenuation
factor change, and is in the range 20 to 400ms (typical value is 200ms).
