Sweep Mode List

Sweep Mode Ramp

Waits for an external hardware trigger to trigger a sweep when (SINGLE) or (CONT] is pressed.

Activates the list frequency sweep mode.

Activates the analog frequency sweep mode.

Sweep Mode Step	Activates the stepped frequency
	sweep mode.
SwpTime Auto	Sets the sweep time to a minimum
	value for a given span.
TrigOut Delay	Sets the time delay after phase-lock
	and before a trigger pulse is sent
