Start / stop display update
The operating system of the R&S SMW refreshes the displayed settings by default in
almost real-time, to keep the display updated with the internally used values. However,
you can turn off this function to reduce settling times when the instrument is remote
controlled.
We recommend that you switch off the display update for optimum sweep performance
with short dwell times and for fast settling times.
Consider that in this case the displayed values can differ from the operated values.
