More explanation?
Do you mean that a complete sweep consists of 500 samples and that the sweep
cycles at 1 full sweep every 2 seconds?
And your second point is that T_T simply wiggles the display in between
times to fake us out?? You may be right, but the first question I'd have to
ask is what are you missing in your measurement? (I'm sure the answer will
be nothing ... But that doesn't answer the question either) :-)
