If [Step] does not divide exactly into the difference between [λ Stop]
and [λ Start], the parameters are automatically corrected to meet the
constraints of PACT.
If the step size is very large in comparison to the sweep range, a box
requesting you to correct the [λ Stop], [λ Start], and [Step] may
appear.

The number of samples that each Power Meter will record and the
output laser power are displayed. If <Continuous> was selected as
the sweep [Method], the sweep speed, [V Sweep], is displayed.
