Explanation  The number of steps refers to the number of steps required for the instrument to
sweep from the “Start Frequency” ( [:SOURce[]]:FREQuency:STARt ) to the
“Stop Frequency” ( [:SOURce[]]:FREQuency:STOP ). This command is only
applicable to the step sweep ( [:SOURce[]]:SWEep:SPACing ).
 When [:SOURce[]] or [] is omitted, the system sets the related
parameters of CH1 by default.
Return Format The query returns the number of steps of the sweep in scientific notation with 7
effective digits, for example, 5.000000E+00 (the number of steps is 5).
Example :SOUR1:SWE:STEP 5 /*Set the number of steps of the sweep of CH1 to 5*/
:SOUR1:SWE:STEP? /*Query the number of steps of the sweep of CH1 and the
query returns 5.000000E+00*/
