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.

Step Count
Set a value in the range from 2 to 100000.
Note
• If the start level and stop level have opposite signs, an error occurs, and the sweep
operation cannot be carried out. In addition, if the start level or stop level is zero, an error
occurs, and the sweep operation cannot be carried out.
• 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.
