How to call the "SPAN" of the frequency slider in output mode?


 

A long tap on the frequency button away from the slider indicator activates the mode in which you can set the frequency range of the slider. It can be set very small (1kHz) so you can control the frequency in great detail or very large (full frequency range of the output mode) so you can quickly scan a large range
Currently this mode is called the "SPAN" mode, but that creates confusion with the SPAN setting in the sweep. What would be a good name for this mode?
  • WIDTH?
  • RANGE?
  • or keep SPAN?
  • anything else?
You input is most welcome

Hello Erik,
Keeping SPAN is OK for me.

Maybe MaxSpan?


 

I propose (frequency) STEP


 

I propose "range".? This term is often used on test equipment.

I second "Range".? Second choice would be "Sweep" which is a term a firmware writer for the NanoVNA selected -- but Range would have been better there also.


 

Range it will be.
