Sweep/Measure
Lets you toggle between Continuous and Single sweep or measurement operation.
The single/continuous state is Meas Global, so the setting affects all measurements.
The front-panel key Single/Cont performs exactly the same function

Notes
X-Series A-models had Single and Cont hardkeys in place of the SweepSingleCont softkey. In the X-
Series A-models, if in single measurement, the Cont hardkey (and INIT:CONT ON) switched to
continuous measurement, but never restarted a measurement and never reset a sweep
X-Series B-models have a Cont/Single toggle control instead of Single and Cont hardkeys, but it is still
true that, if in single measurement, the Cont/Single toggle control never restarts a measurement and
never resets a sweep

reaches the Average/Hold Num, the count stops incrementing, but the instrument
