Specifies the dwell time for the selected segment. This property is used only when you set the Sweep Type property to Segment and Segment Dwell Time Enabled property to True. This value is expressed in seconds.

Dwell Time specifies the time for which the analyzer waits before acquiring the signal for each measured frequency point. Use dwell time when measuring devices with substantial electrical lengths, requiring compensation for the delay between frequency changes at the generator and their observation at the analyzer.

Use "segment::<segmentnumber>" as the selector string to configure or read this property for a specific segment. Use "segment::all" as the selector string to configure this property for all segments.

The default value is 0 s.
