[:SOURce<hw>]:SWEep[:FREQuency]:STEP[:LINear] <Linear>

Sets the step size for linear RF frequency sweep steps.

This parameter is related to the number of steps ([:SOURce<hw>]:SWEep[:FREQuency]:POINts) within the sweep range as follows:

fSTARt < fSTOP

freq_points = (fSPAN / step_lin) + 1

If you change the step size, the number of steps changes accordingly. The sweep range remains the same.

The keywords [:FREQuency] and [:LINear] can be omitted. The command is then SCPI-compliant.

Parameters:
<Linear>
float
Range: full frequency range
Increment: see the data sheet: RF characteristics > Resolution of setting
Example: FREQ:STAR 1GHz

sets the start frequency to 1 GHz.

FREQ:STOP 5GHz

sets the stop frequency to 5 GHz.

SWE:SPAC LIN

sets linear sweep spacing.

SWE:STEP 2 MHz

sets the step width for linear sweep spacing to 2 MHz (RF sweep) at the RF output. The number of sweep steps for linear sweep spacing (POINts) is automatically set to 2001.

Manual operation: See "Step Lin/Log - Frequency Sweep"
