Longer sweep times in CW mode

Question

The ZVA/B/T is switched to CW mode and a long sweep time is set. The trace shown on the display is not

updated until the sweep is finished. This makes it almost impossible to adjust the DUT during the measurement.

Which settings are necessary to have the trace updated point by point (as in Normal mode)?

Answer

Press "Sweep" – then select "Trigger"

Select "Periodic"

Select "Trigger settings" --> A window opens

Set "Triggered Measurement Sequence" to "Point"

--> Now the trace will be updated point by point.
