Supported All Models

[:SOURce]:LIST:DWELl?
This command sets the dwell time for the current list sweep points.
Dwell time is used when IMMediate is the trigger source. Refer to “:LIST:TRIGger:SOURce” on page 46
for the trigger setting.
The dwell time is the amount of time the sweep is guaranteed to pause after setting the frequency
and/or power for the current point.
The setting enabled by this command is not affected by signal generator power- on, preset, or *RST.
The variable <value> is expressed in units of seconds with a 0.001 resolution.
NOTE The dwell time (<value>) does not begin until the signal generator has settled for the current
frequency and/or amplitude change.
Range 0.0001–100
