In the single frequency mode Auto Scaling sets the
measurement unit scale so the pointer is mid range of the
previous reading. The maximum and minimum scale values
are approximately 10% higher or lower than the measured
value.

This setting is an operator preference based on the mode
that best presents the desired information.

Sweep Type-Single Hold vs. Continuous

Continuous sweep continually sweeps the selected frequency
band updating the measured value with each sweep. An
asterisk (*) is blinking on the left side of the display to
indicate sweep rate. The single hold mode will freeze a trace
on the display and hold is displayed on the right. Holding a
trace is also helpful before saving the trace, (more about
saving traces under that heading later in this section).
