● "RBW: Auto"
Automatically selects an appropriate measurement bandwidth depending on
the current frequency span. The automatically selected bandwidth is a compro-
mise between measurement speed and performance.

"Sweep" is another word for the measurement process of the analyzer. The VNA appli-
cation provides several tools to control how the R&S FPC measures the signal.
Selecting the measurement mode
The measurement mode defines how often the data is measured.
In continuous mode, the R&S FPC measures the signal over and over until you stop it
deliberately. The measurement results are updated accordingly.
In single mode, the R&S FPC measures the signal once and then stops without updat-
ing the results any longer. Another measurement starts only when you deliberately ini-
tiate it.
1. Press the "Sweep" key to open the sweep menu.
2. Select the "Continuous Sweep" menu item.
The R&S FPC demodulates the signal continuously.
You can interrupt a continuous measurement by selecting the "Continuous Sweep"
menu item again.
3. Select the "Single Sweep" menu item.
The R&S FPC measures the signal once and displays the results of that measure-
ment.
4. You can interrupt the measurement at any time in both measurement modes with
the "Hold" menu item. Selecting "Hold" again resumes the measurement.
