Very Long Sweep Times

Two primary settings are responsible for the sweep time: Res BW and
SwAcquisition.
— When the sweep time exceeds 1200 seconds (20 minutes), an informational
— When the sweep time exceeds 4000 seconds (about 1 hour),
— InstAlign is always performed only at the beginning of the sweep regardless

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.
