Number of Points

For the MultisinePlus input type, the frequency spacing is calculated by the Number of Points. The algorithm tries to generate this number of logarithmically-spaced frequency bins between the Start and End Frequencies. If you measure a frequency response with 100 points, it gives you frequency spacing that is correct for most applications. If you set the Number of Points to a very high value or if you set the Start Frequency to a very low value, a large quantity of time is necessary for the frequency response measurement to complete.
