Some Detector and Video Bandwidth settings will raise the Auto Sweep
Acquisition value greater than 1. In these cases, manually setting Sweep
Acquisition lower than the Auto value may have NO effect.

Zero Span Measurements

When setting the frequency span to Zero, there is NO spectrum of frequencies to
display, so the X-axis units becomes Time. The SA becomes like a tunable
oscilloscope, with the center frequency being the frequency of interest. This
capability is useful for analyzing modulation characteristics, such as pulsed
measurements.
GSM signal, framed data format, timeslot 0 and 3 on. Sweep Time is set to
approximately the frame interval. Press Single several times until the
waveform section of interest is viewable and stable. Then markers can be
used to measure the timeslot width and interval as shown.
