1. N is a factor used to help define certain specifications within the document.
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 from 20 to 30 °C. When switching into or out of band 6 amplitude settling time is within 0.3 dB. Implies simultaneous

frequency and amplitude switching.

3. With internal channel corrections on, the frequency switching speed is < 1.3 ms, measured for list mode and SCPI mode cached frequency points.

For the initial frequency point in SCPI mode the time is < 3.3 ms, measured. The instrument will automatically cache the most recently used 1024

frequencies. There is no speed degradation for amplitude-only changes.

4. Specifications apply when status register updates are off.
