Although a margin functionality is not available for the limit check, a margin (threshold)
for the peak values to be displayed in the Result Summary can be defined. (In the "List
Evaluation" settings, see "List Evaluation (Results Configuration)" on page 185).
Fast SEM Measurements
To improve the performance of the R&S FPL1000 for spectrum emission mask mea-
surements, a "Fast SEM" mode is available. If this mode is activated, several consecu-
tive ranges with identical sweep settings are combined to one sweep internally, which
makes the measurement considerably faster. The displayed results remain unchanged
and still consist of several ranges. Thus, measurement settings that apply only to the
results, such as limits, can nevertheless be defined individually for each range.
Prerequisites
"Fast SEM" mode is available if the following criteria apply:
●
The frequency ranges are consecutive, without frequency gaps
●
The following sweep settings are identical (for details see "Sweep List"
on page 174):
– "Filter Type"
– "RBW"
– "VBW"
– "Sweep Time Mode"
– "Reference Level"
– "RF Attenuation Mode"
– "RF Attenuation"
– "Preamplifier"
Activating Fast SEM mode
"Fast SEM" mode is activated in the sweep list (see "Sweep List" on page 174) or
using a remote command. Activating the mode for one range automatically activates it
for all ranges in the sweep list.
Remote command:

Fast SEM not supported for multiple sub blocks
For SEM with multiple sub blocks, fast SEM is not available. If more than one sub
block is defined and a standard is loaded which contains an active fast SEM setting,
this setting is disabled.
For more information on multi-SEM measurements, see "SEM with Multiple Sub Blocks
("Multi-SEM")" on page 169.
