1. Performance below 250 kHz is unspecified except as indicated, for units with serial numbers
ending with 4742xxxx or greater. For units with lower serial numbers refer to the Archive
Section at end of this document.
2. N is a factor used to help define certain specifications within the document.
3. 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.
4. Additional time may be required for the amplitude to settle within 0.2 dB when switching
to or from frequencies < 500 kHz.
5. Specifications apply when status register updates are off.
6. With Internal Channel Corrections on, the frequency switching speed is < 1 ms (measured) for
list mode and SCPI mode cached frequency points. For the initial frequency point in SCPI mode
the time is < 75 ms (measured). The instrument will automatically cache the most recently
used 256 frequencies. There is no speed degradation for amplitude-only changes. Internal
Channel Correction applies to FW A.01.60 or greater with Option N5162/82AK-R2C.
