This submenu key toggles between continuous sweep and single sweep. In single sweep mode, the results of a sweep are displayed on the screen while the instrument awaits a trigger event to start a new sweep.
Pressing this submenu key causes the instrument to make a single sweep when the instrument is in single sweep mode. This key has no function when the instrument is in continuous sweep mode.
This submenu key stops the current sweep, clears trace averaging results, clears the maximum hold results, if selected, and restarts the sweep at the left side of the screen.
Several detection methods tailor the performance of the instrument to meet specific measurement requirements. In general, more measurement points exist across the screen than display points. The various detection methods are different ways of dealing with selecting which measurement point will be shown at each display point. See the
“Detection Menu” on page 2‑31.
This function allows a minimum sweep time to be specified. Use the keypad, the directional arrow keys, or the rotary knob to set the minimum sweep time from 10
μs to 600 seconds. When using the keypad, the available time units are minutes, seconds, milliseconds, and microseconds.
If the required sweep time for accurate measurement is longer than the specified minimum, then the time required for accurate measurements will prevail.
