A data point is a sample of data representing a measurement at a single stimulus value. You can specify the number of data points that the analyzer measures across a sweep. (A "sweep" is a series of consecutive data point measurements, taken over a sequence of stimulus values.)
The analyzer sweep time changes proportionally with the number of points. However, the overall measurement cycle time does not. See Technical Specifications for more information on how the number of points, and other settings, affect the sweep time.

Specifies the number of data points that the analyzer gathers during a measurement sweep. You can specify any number from 1 to 100,001. The default value is 201. Two data points are required for Time Domain. Tips:
The number of points is the number of data items collected in one sweep. It can be set for each channel independently.
