2.8.6.12 220-325 GHz (J)
Selects J band (mixing harmonic -46). Displays the start and stop frequencies for that
particular band. Other start/stop frequencies are available as long as they are within the
-46 harmonic band.

2.8.6.13 User
Lets you define the frequency band for your Input Mixer. The frequencies available depend
on the currently selected harmonic mixing number. Use
Mixer Config, Harmonic to select a
particular harmonic number.

NOTE The 650 MHz term in the equations above is approximately 2XIF. This term
is for the signal identification algorithm. The 6.666 GHz term is the
maximum LO range based on the preselector tune circuitry in the analyzer.
