Use Step Dwell with Free Run when additional measurement wait
time is desired after settling.
If the signal is to be settled for a minimum specific time at each point
and it is not important if the point to point time is consistent, use
Step Dwell and Free Run time.

If the signal’s point to point time
requires consistency but the
specific settling time at each point
can vary, then use the Timer
Trigger. Avoid using too fast of a
sweep which does not allow the
signal generator to settle.
If the signal needs to be settled for
a specific minimum time and
consistent point to point time is
required, then you should set the
Timer Trigger to be the sum of the
switching time (900 us (Option
UNZ) or 5 ms (Standard)) plus the
minimum settled time that is
needed to make the measurement.
Example: If you need the signal to
remain settled for 3 ms, and you
have Option UNZ which settles in
0.9 ms, then set the time trigger to
the sum which is 3.9 ms.
