●
Sweep segments are allowed to overlap.
●
In contrast to standard frequency sweeps, the start and stop frequency in a sweep
segment do not have to be different.
So with a segmented sweep you can measure n

Table Columns
The table in the upper part of the "Define Segments" dialog contains an automatically
assigned current number for each segment plus the following editable or non-editable
columns:
●
"On" provides check boxes to activate or deactivate each individual segment.
Sweep points in inactive segments are not measured and not listed in the "Point
List".
●
"Start" is the stimulus (x-axis) value of the first point of the segment.
●
"Stop" is the stimulus (x-axis) value of the last point of the segment.
●
"Points" is the number of sweep points in the segment. A single segment can con-
sist of only one point. If "Points" is set to 1, then the "Stop" frequency is set equal
to the "Start" frequency.
Note: Displayed Columns and Segment-specific Measurement Settings
The remaining columns allow you to replace channel-wide measurement settings by
segment-specific ones. These columns are only displayed – and the corresponding
segment-specific values are only applied – if they are selected in the
umns
Note: Limitations for overlapping segments
When overlapping sweep segments are created, the marker functions, trace evaluation
functions, trace search functions and band filter functions are still available. It is possi-
ble, however, that these tools show an unexpected behavior when used in overlapping
sweep segments. The reason is that the assignment of markers to traces in overlap-
ping segments is ambiguous. If you want to analyze a particular segment using mark-
ers, turn "Off" all sweep segments that overlap with this segment.
