Can SmartRF Studio 7 Continuous TX Sweep Rate be modified? I don't think so but wanted to confirm.

Not exactly sure what you are refering to.

Do you refer to the 'time' under frequency sweep? That can be adjusted, this is the time between each frequency in the sweep.

Yes, I was referring to the settings below. If you time a frequency sweep from 902 to 928 MHz for example, it takes approximately 45 seconds. Customer would like to speed this up.

The speed limitation is probably due to how the interface between SmartRF Studio and CC1310 is implemented. I suspect that it could be some other variations too, on my PC they sweep you outlined took 21 seconds.

Could you explain the use case? Why do they need this to go fast?

Customer is doing board testing and wanted to speed it up. Not a big deal, just wanted to understand the limitations.

Thanks for the support.

Studio has some speed limitations with wireless MCUs. If greater speed is needed than Studio is able to provide firmware has to be written.
