Parameter
mode
Frequency switching speed
BPH
The operation is done so as to improve the phase
noise characteristic rather than the frequency
switching speed.
NORM
Becomes same setting as BPH (response is
BPH).
FAST
The operation is done so as to increase the
frequency switching speed at the cost of the
phase noise characteristic.
Details
This command is available for MS2830A and MS2840A.
Note that because the FAST setting gives priority to the switching speed
of the local frequency, the phase noise characteristic worsens.
Example of Use
To set the frequency switching mode to the speed priority mode.
