Incomplete Down Amplitude Sweeps about dds-sweeper HOT 3 CLOSED

Wow, that is really annoying. Maybe amplitude sweeps aren't actually going to be a fully functioning feature after all. I suppose it is a lower priority, for us at least, than getting frequency sweeps working. This will be doubly true if we get single tone table mode working as well (as a decent fall-back method for amplitude sweeps). With some luck, you should have a decent frequency measurement soon (KJ should be doing that next) then you can ditch amplitude sweeps entirely for the time being.

After further testing I have concluded that the solution in #32 definitely should not work, and in some situations it actually does not. If the time steps are set to anything other than a clock cycle then downward sweeps do not happen at all.

That might not be a huge problem though because this means it works for the highest resolution sweeps. It only causes an issue if you try to make a sweep that last over a longer period of time. Will have to decide if that is preferable to not being able to sweep as far as you want.
