Yes, the sweep speed is by default set to auto and will choose the fastest sweep speed based on your configuration. I would leave it in this configuration unless you have explicit need to achieve some probability of intercept offered by the fast sweep speed. If you choose a narrow span, the API will override your selection and perform the “slow”/narrow sweeps regardless. That span cutoff is 5MHz. Slow sweep speed is not selectable otherwise.
If you choose fast sweep speed, VBW must equal RBW and your lower limit on RBW is 30/60kHz depending on window function selected. If your settings meet these restrictions we will automatically choose fast sweep speed when auto is selected.
I hope this clarifies.
