Reverse Function
Turning ON or OFF the reverse function switches the sweep operation between one-way sweep and round
sweep.
Reverse OFF: One-way sweep
Reverse ON: Round sweep
The sweep operation of the linear sweep is described below.
Other sweep types also sweep from the last value to the first value when reaching the last value in the same
way with reverse ON.
The following table shows the source and measurement timings in the sweep source mode with reverse
ON (round sweep).
