:SWEep:TIMer
TRIGger:SWEep:TIMer <period> selects the time between frequency values for
sweep or frequency list generation when
TRIGger:SWEep:SOURce is set to TIMer.
This value set by command is coupled to the
[SOURce:]SWEep:TIME command
value by the following equation:
TIME = TIMer * (points - 1)
where points is the
[SOURce:]SWEep:POINts value for frequency sweeps, or the
length of the frequency list for frequency list generation.
When changing the frequency list length when
[SOURce:]FREQuency[1]:MODE
LIST
is set, or the [SOURce:]SWEep:POINts value when any other MODE is set, the
TIME or TIMer value remains the same, depending on which command,
[SOURce:]SWEep:TIME or TRIGger:SWEep:TIMer respectively, was most recently
sent. The other value is changed based on the new points value.
