Sweep time that has been set.
If the sweep time does not correspond to the value for automatic coupling,
a bullet is displayed in front of the field. The color of the bullet turns red if
the sweep time is set below the value for automatic coupling. In addition,
the UNCAL flag is shown. In this case, the sweep time must be increased.
For FFT sweeps, an estimated duration for data capture
and processing
is
indicated behind the sweep time in the channel bar.
RBW
Resolution bandwidth that has been set.
If the bandwidth does not correspond to the value for automatic coupling,
a green bullet appears in front of the field.
VBW
Video bandwidth that has been set.
If the bandwidth does not correspond to the value for automatic coupling,
a green bullet is displayed in front of the field.

Mode
Indicates which sweep mode type is used:
●
"Auto FFT" : automatically selected FFT sweep mode
●
"Auto sweep" : automatically selected swept sweep mode
Icons for individual settings
A bullet next to the setting indicates that user-defined settings are used, not automatic
settings. A green bullet indicates this setting is valid and the measurement is correct. A
red bullet indicates an invalid setting that does not provide useful results.
Common settings
The channel bar above the diagram not only displays the channel-specific settings. It
also displays information on instrument settings that affect the measurement results
even though it is not immediately apparent from the display of the measured values.
This information is displayed in gray font and only when applicable for the current mea-
surement, as opposed to the channel-specific settings that are always displayed.
The following types of information are displayed, if applicable.

SGL
The sweep is set to single sweep mode.
Sweep Count
The current signal count for measurement tasks that involve a specific number of subse-
quent sweeps
