Frequency
1.
Performance below 250 kHz is unspecified, except as indicated.
2. Time from receipt of SCPI command or trigger signal to within 0.1 ppm of final frequency or within
100 Hz, whichever is greater, and amplitude settled to within 0.2 dB.
3. Specification does not apply when switching to or from frequencies < 500 kHz, when ALC level is
< –5 dBm for Option 540 or < 0 dBm for Option 520, or when frequency crosses 0.002, 0.02, 0.1, 2.0, 3.2,
20.0, 25.6, or 32.0 GHz.
