get_dwell() → float[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:LFOutput:SWEep:[FREQuency]:DWELl
value: float = driver.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.get_dwell()

Sets the dwell time for each frequency step of the sweep.

Returns:: dwell: float Range: 0.001 to 100, Unit: s

get_mode() → AutoManStep[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:LFOutput:SWEep:[FREQuency]:MODE
value: enums.AutoManStep = driver.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.get_mode()

Sets the cycle mode of the LF sweep.

Returns:: mode: AUTO | MANual | STEP AUTO Performs a complete sweep cycle from the start to the end value when a trigger event occurs. The dwell time determines the time period until the signal switches to the next step. MANual Performs a single sweep step when a manual trigger event occurs. The trigger system is not active. To trigger each frequency step of the sweep individually, use the command method RsSmw.source.lfOutput.frequency.manual() . STEP Each trigger command triggers one sweep step only. The frequency increases by the value set with the coammnds: method RsSmw.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.step.linear() (linear spacing) method RsSmw.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.step.logarithmic() (logarithmic spacing)

get_points() → int[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:LFOutput:SWEep:[FREQuency]:POINts
value: int = driver.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.get_points()

Sets the number of steps in an LF sweep. For information on how the value is calculated and the interdependency with other parameters, see ‘Correlating parameters in sweep mode’

Returns:: points: integer Range: 2 to POINts

get_retrace() → bool[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:LFOutput:SWEep:[FREQuency]:RETRace
value: bool = driver.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.get_retrace()

Activates that the signal changes to the start frequency value while it is waiting for the next trigger event. You can enable this feature, when you are working with sawtooth shapes in sweep mode ‘Single’ or ‘External Single’.

Returns:: state: 1 | ON | 0| OFF

get_running() → bool[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:LFOutput:SWEep:[FREQuency]:RUNNing
value: bool = driver.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.get_running()

Queries the current status of the LF frequency sweep mode.

Returns:: state: 1 | ON | 0| OFF

get_shape() → SweCyclMode[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:LFOutput:SWEep:[FREQuency]:SHAPe
value: enums.SweCyclMode = driver.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.get_shape()

Sets the cycle mode for a sweep sequence (shape) .

Returns:: shape: SAWTooth | TRIangle

get_spacing() → Spacing[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:LFOutput:SWEep:[FREQuency]:SPACing
value: enums.Spacing = driver.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.get_spacing()

Selects linear or logarithmic sweep spacing.

Returns:: spacing: LINear | LOGarithmic

set_dwell(dwell: float) → None[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:LFOutput:SWEep:[FREQuency]:DWELl
driver.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.set_dwell(dwell = 1.0)

Sets the dwell time for each frequency step of the sweep.

Parameters:: dwell – float Range: 0.001 to 100, Unit: s

set_mode(mode: AutoManStep) → None[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:LFOutput:SWEep:[FREQuency]:MODE
driver.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.set_mode(mode = enums.AutoManStep.AUTO)

Sets the cycle mode of the LF sweep.

Parameters:: mode – AUTO | MANual | STEP AUTO Performs a complete sweep cycle from the start to the end value when a trigger event occurs. The dwell time determines the time period until the signal switches to the next step. MANual Performs a single sweep step when a manual trigger event occurs. The trigger system is not active. To trigger each frequency step of the sweep individually, use the command method RsSmw.source.lfOutput.frequency.manual() . STEP Each trigger command triggers one sweep step only. The frequency increases by the value set with the coammnds: method RsSmw.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.step.linear() (linear spacing) method RsSmw.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.step.logarithmic() (logarithmic spacing)

set_points(points: int) → None[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:LFOutput:SWEep:[FREQuency]:POINts
driver.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.set_points(points = 1)

Sets the number of steps in an LF sweep. For information on how the value is calculated and the interdependency with other parameters, see ‘Correlating parameters in sweep mode’

Parameters:: points – integer Range: 2 to POINts

set_retrace(state: bool) → None[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:LFOutput:SWEep:[FREQuency]:RETRace
driver.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.set_retrace(state = False)

Activates that the signal changes to the start frequency value while it is waiting for the next trigger event. You can enable this feature, when you are working with sawtooth shapes in sweep mode ‘Single’ or ‘External Single’.

Parameters:: state – 1 | ON | 0| OFF

set_shape(shape: SweCyclMode) → None[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:LFOutput:SWEep:[FREQuency]:SHAPe
driver.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.set_shape(shape = enums.SweCyclMode.SAWTooth)

Sets the cycle mode for a sweep sequence (shape) .

Parameters:: shape – SAWTooth | TRIangle

set_spacing(spacing: Spacing) → None[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:LFOutput:SWEep:[FREQuency]:SPACing
driver.source.lfOutput.sweep.frequency.set_spacing(spacing = enums.Spacing.LINear)
