Setting DWELL TIME
The dwell-time-per-step of the step sweep can be set for any time in the range of 10 µs to 99 s. When dwell-time-per-step, step size or number of points is set, the sweep time equals dwell-time-per-step times the number of points plus the total phase-locking time for all the step frequencies. If sweep time is set, then dwell-time-per-step is the result of the sweep time divided by the number of points.
The dwell time of the step sweep can be set for any time in the range of 10 µs to 99 s. When the step Dwell Time, Step Size, or Number of Points is set:
Sweep time = Step Dwell time × Number of Points + total phase-locking time for all step frequencies.
Press the DWELL TIME button to open the dwell time parameter. Edit the open frequency parameter. When you complete, close the open parameter using a termination key.
