Sinusoid Disturbance

The disturbance signal for the Sinusoid input type, which is also known as swept sine and stepped sine, is a sinusoid at one discrete frequency. Automation1 sweeps the frequency of the sinusoid through the full frequency range. Then it measures the output for each frequency. As a result, this procedure usually gives you the highest quality measurement. But it also has the longest measurement time.
