Continuous / Single

Activate either continuous or single sweep mode for the active channel.

●

In "Continuous" mode, the analyzer measures continuously, repeating the current
sweep.

●

In "Single" sweep mode, the measurement is stopped after the number of selected
"Sweeps". "Restart Sweep" initiates a new measurement cycle.

Tip:

Use "All Channels Continuous" or "All Channels on Hold" to select a common sweep

control mode for all channels.

Remote command:
