Set Sweep time
Background
Sweep time defines the display update rate. Note that
sweep time and RBW/VBW are in trade-off. Faster
sweep time updates display more frequently but makes
RBW and VBW wider, reducing the capability to
separate signals at close frequencies.

Note
When in the Auto mode, GSP830 is optimized for fast
sweep time. For narrower RBW settings, like 300 Hz or
3 KHz, this optimization will cause slightly higher phase
noise. To reduce the phase noise level, slow down the
sweep time using manual setting.
Average Waveform
Background
The GSP-830 averages the waveform for a user-defined
or system-defined number before it is displayed. This
feature smoothes the noise level to a great extent, but
slows down the display update rate.
