Swift Mode
If requiring control of individual data point triggering, Swift buffered mode provides the highest measurement
rates. Swift buffered mode is a GPIB-fast mode which allows for triggered buffered measurements, in which a
host or external trigger indicates when to take each measurement. If setting the triggering mode to external, the
8650B will perform one measurement each time a TTL level signal is detected by the 8650B. Then the value is
stored in the data buffer. This continues until the 8650B has detected the specified number of triggers and also
read in the specified number of data points to the buffer.
Swift free-run mode is a GPIB-fast mode which allows for fast continuous data taking and returning of each
measurement to the host as it is taken.
The Swift mode cannot be entered if a modulated measurement (MAP, PAP or BAP) is being performed.
Commands related to the swift mode are based on the SWIFT function code:
Syntax:
SWIFT [FREERUN or OFF]
SWIFT is the function code for Swift Mode
[FREERUN] initiates the free-run mode (continuous taking and returning of measurements)
[OFF] causes the 8650B to exit the swift mode; all unread data is lost
Example:
SWIFT FREERUN
! INITIATE SWIFT FREERUN MODE
Example 2:
SWIFT OFF
! EXIT THE SWIFT MODE
For commands which set up triggered buffered measurements, the command format is:
Syntax:
SWIFT [GET or TTL] BUFFER [b]
SWIFT is the function code for Swift Mode
[GET or TTL] defines the trigger:
[GET] the expected trigger is a GPIB GET command or BUS trigger. The 8650B signals the host
by asserting SRQ every time it is ready to take a measurement
[TTL] the expected trigger is a TTL high at the rear panel trigger input
BUFFER along with the buffer value, numeric variable [b], specifies the number of
measurements to be taken and stored in the buffer. The minimum value is one. The maximum
value is 5000
Example:
SWIFT GET BUFFER 200
! TAKE 1 MEASUREMENT FOR EACH GET UNTIL 200 ARE RECEIVED
! THEN OUTPUT THE 200 MEASUREMENTS TAKEN
Example 2:
SWIFT TTL BUFFER 100
! TAKE 1 MEASUREMENT FOR EACH TTL UNTIL 100 ARE RECEIVED
! THEN OUTPUT THE 100 MEASUREMENTS TAKEN

Swift Mode Notes
Swift mode cannot be entered if a modulated measurement (MAP, PAP or BAP) is being performed.
Swift mode should not be used for measuring power in the bottom 10 dB of the CW Sensor’s dynamic range. At
low power levels, the standard measurement collection mode reduces the measurement speed to account for
the effects of noise.
Swift buffered mode is the fastest method of collecting measurement data with individual data point triggering.
Top speed in the Swift buffered mode is achieved by using a low averaging number (≤4).
