Frequency Reference Source
The FieldFox internal frequency reference source is used to make accurate and
stable measurements. To improve measurement accuracy and stability, you can
use a highly-stable external 10 MHz reference source or a precision timing signal
provided with Built-in GPS (Opt. 307).
The Frequency Reference setting will survive a FieldFox or Mode Preset and is
saved as part of the Instrument State. When resuming after Stand By, the
FieldFox will display an Unlock message while it acquires a lock to an external or
GPS source.
