SWEEP_SETTINGS_FSV
Set sweep settings for a FSV. Note that span/center and start/stop can be used equivalently if:
start = center - (span / 2) and stop = center + (span / 2).
Requires a CONNECTION_FSV block at the start of the app to connect with
the instrument. The VISA address will then be listed under 'connection'.
This block should also work with compatible R&S network analyzers. Params: connection : VisaConnection The VISA address (requires the CONNECTION_FSV block). span_or_range : select X axis range, span (center and span) or range (start and stop). center : float The center of the x axis range, in Hz. span : float The span of the x axis, in Hz. start : float The start point of the x axis, in Hz. stop : float The end point of the x axis, in Hz. sweep_type : select How the FSV sweeps along the x axis range. sweep_type : float The sweep time (set to auto if = 0), in seconds. counts : int Number of sweeps to do, (average optional in INIT_SWEEP_FSV). points : int Number of x axis points to sweep. Returns: out : String Sweep settings summary.

Read FM Radio Signals using Flojoy
Example
Having problems with this example app? Join our Discord community and we will help you out!
In this example, the Rohde & Schwarz FSV Signal Analyzer is used to view the FM radio range (86-110 MHz).
First 4 FSV nodes were added: CONNECTION_FSV, SWEEP_SETTINGS_FSV, INIT_SWEEP_FSV, and EXTRACT_SWEEP_FSV. A LINE node was also added. The VISA address was set for the 4 instrument nodes. The range of the signal analyzer sweep was set with SWEEP_SETTINGS_FSV (start = 86, stop = 110 MHz).
The nodes were then connected as shown in the image, and the app was run.
