Comments • [SOURce:]SWEep:POINts specifies the number of points with
[SOURce:]FREQuency[1]:MODE set to SWEep; the length of the
[SOURce:]LIST2:FREQuency list specifies the points with
[SOURce:]FREQuency[1]:MODE set to LIST.
• When changing the [SOURce:]SWEep:POINts value when
[SOURce:]FREQuency[1]:MODE SWEep set, the [SOURce:]SWEep:TIME or the
TRIGger:SWEep:TIMer value remains the same, depending on which command
was most recently sent. The other value is changed based on the new
SWEep:POINts value.
