It is possible, that the measurement cannot be performed over the complete time range
because of limitations due to sensor settings. In this case, the R&S SMA100B gener-
ates an error message.
If you change this value for a finished single measurement, only the scaling of the x-
axis changes. This way, you can zoom the trace. However, for subsequent measure-
ments, the measurement range is changed according to the new setting.
If you change this value during a continuous measurement, only the scaling of the x-
axis changes for measurement cycles that have been triggered before the change. For
subsequent measurement cycles, the measurement range changes according to the
new setting.

Max - Power Analysis
Sets the maximum frequency/power/time of the measurement.
The available frequency/power range depends on the frequency/power range of the
instrument and the used power sensor.
The range for the stop time is 0 s to 2 s. Value 0 defines the trigger point.

Steps - Power Analysis
Sets the number of steps for the sweep. The number of measured points is steps + 1.
The number of steps is one of the parameters that define the measurement speed. The
higher the number of steps, the longer the measurement takes (frequency and power
mode).

Timing - Power Analysis
Selects the timing mode in frequency or power domain.
