Explanation
Repeat Count
Set a value between 1 and 1000 or infinity (∞). If the repeat count is set to infinity (∞), the
GS820 repeats the sweep operation until you turn the sweep operation or output OFF.

Note
• If the sweep count calculated from the start level, stop level, and step level exceeds 100000
points, an error occurs, and the sweep operation can be carried out only up to 100000 points.
• If the source range is set to auto range, the range may be changed during the sweep
operation, because the GS820 constantly selects the most suitable range.
• If set to fixed range, the sweep operation is carried out in the range best suited to the source
level with the highest resolution.
