While the measurement is running, the "Continuous Sweep" softkey and the [RUN
CONT] key are highlighted. The running measurement can be aborted by selecting the
highlighted softkey or key again. The results are not deleted until a new measurement
is started.
Remote command:
INITiate<n>:CONTinuous on page 326
Continue Single Sweep
Repeats the number of measurements defined by the "Sweep Count", without deleting
the trace of the last measurement.
While the measurement is running, the "Continue Single Sweep" softkey and the [RUN
SINGLE] key are highlighted. The running measurement can be aborted by selecting
the highlighted softkey or key again.

The R&S FSPN provides several noise measurements, each determining different
noise aspects of different types of signal.

Phase noise Measurement
Provides tools to measure the noise characteristics of a continuous wave signal.
This measurement measures the combined noise characteristics of the components in
the test setup.
Remote command:
CONFigure:PNOise:MEASurement on page 323
Baseband noise measurement
Provides tools to measure the noise characteristics of a DUT in absolute terms (not rel-
ative to a carrier).
The measurement is designed to check the voltage supply of DC sources or to deter-
mine the noise characteristics of amplifiers. Baseband measurements are possible
between 0 Hz and 30 MHz (absolute).
