3．RX Characteristic Sweep
This module is used to map out the characteristic boundary of the impedance relay.
During the test process a series of shots will be generated to search out the boundary along this
shot line. Then next shot at a different angle will be generated. In this way we can then find out the
boundary at different angles.
