 <p class=Dropdowntext>A sweep is a series of consecutive measurements taken 
 over a specified sequence of stimulus values. It represents the basic 
 measurement cycle of the analyzer. </p>
 <p class=Dropdowntext>The analyzer can perform sweeps at constant power 
 but variable frequency (frequency sweeps), sweeps at constant frequency 
 but variable power (power sweeps), and sweeps at constant power and frequency 
 that are repeated in time (Time/CW Trigger Event sweeps); see <a href="file://S:/Z/ZVAB/Online_Test/RoboHelp/MMI_Reference/Channel/Sweep/Sweep_Type.htm"

 Type</a>. 
 </p>
 <p class=Dropdowntext>The sweeps are further specified by the number of 
 measurement points, the total measurement time and the trigger mode. A 
 measurement may consist of a single sweep or a series of sweeps repeated 
 continuously.</p>
 <p class=Dropdowntext>On the other hand, depending on the measurement task 
 and the measured quantity, the measurement at each point can consist of 
 several partial measurements with definite hardware settings.</p>
