Specifying Sweep Times and Stopping Sweep

Conditions
stopping (hold) state. No further sweeping can be triggered after it is stopped.
NOTE When the internal trigger (free-run) is selected in “Selecting a Method to Start
Measurement (Trigger Source)” on page 111, new sweeping starts immediately after step 3
above is performed, and sweeping is put into the stopping state after sweeping is repeated
the number of times specified. This means that only specifying the number of sweeping
times will allow you to repeat sweeping as many times as you specify.
NOTE The number of sweeping times can be set to an integer ranging from 1 to 999. Specifying
the number of sweeping times to 1 is equivalent to executing “Single sweep” on page 114.
When you specify the number of sweeping times as that set by sweep-to-sweep averaging,
you can stop the sweeping after the repetitions reach the number indicated by
sweep-to-sweep averaging.
Sweep with unlimited times (continuous sweep)
Step 1. Press the [Trigger] key to display the trigger menu.
Step 2. Press the
CONTINUOUS key to select continuous sweep.
NOTE When continuous sweep is selected, sweeping can be repeated unlimited times after it is
triggered. Press the
HOLD key to stop the sweeping. No further sweeping can be triggered
after it is stopped.
Stopping sweep
Step 1. Press the [Trigger] key to display the trigger menu.
Step 2. Press the HOLD key to stop the sweep.
NOTE Pressing the HOLD key immediately stops sweeping, regardless of which sweeping state
(single, specified times, or continuous) is selected. No further sweeping can be triggered
after it is stopped.
