Not sure I understand, Jon.

If we're looking at a standing wave, by definition the voltage at a
specific point on the line never changes.  We slide the detector probe
along the line until we find a peak (and 1/2-wave away, a minimum). We
couldn't ever find a "peak", much less the position of said peak if the
voltage were always changing.
