3.8 SEM Measurement
Therefore, the total signal acquisition time for the entire offset span is ~(>~Minimum
Acquisition Time) * (The number of chunks).
When in Auto, this parameter’s value is determined by other parameters, such as
Offset Start, Offset Stop, RBW and VBW.
You can manually increase this parameter value from this Auto value.
If increased, the instrument acquires signal for the specified time duration for each
chunk. It performs additional FFTs, and averages or peak-holds the FFT results for a
chunk, depending on Detector settings.
Note that the actual acquisition time for each chunk may exceed the Minimum
Acquisition Time value, in order to satisfy FFT time required by other parameters,
and to perform an integer number of FFTs.

Sweep Time Annotation (Remote Query Only)
Returns the Sweep Time Annotation value. Available only on non-sweeping
hardware.
The value returned is the estimated turnaround time of each acquisition, in seconds.
The turnaround time is the sum of the signal acquisition time, FFT time, and other
overhead time, to complete the entire offset span of each measurement cycle.
