Speed commands
Table 7-3 summarizes commands to control speed. See Section 18, “Set mea-
surement speed,” for more information.
NOTE The speed setting is global, which means that setting the speed for one 
function affects the speed for the other functions. However, the speed 
setting is stored in source memory, and you can use this feature to 
change speed during a sweep. See 
Section 10 for details on using 
source memory.
