All elements in the returned array are Variant.  The type inside each Variant will be as is listed below.  

The returned array will contain values for all elements regardless of the settings of IFBandwidthOption, SweepTimeOption, SourcePowerOption and CouplePorts properties.  Ignore the values for the properties that are set to false.
