SPUR

The
raw
oset
function
is
normally
on
and
controls
the
sampler
and
attenuator
osets
.
The
spur
avoidance
function
is
normally
on
and
generates
values
as
part
of
the
sampler
oset
table
.
The
creation
of
this
table
takes
considerable
time
during
a
recall
of
an
instrument
state
.
T
o
save
time
at
recalls
and
during
frequency
changes
,
both
functions
should be
turned o.
This
will
avoid
generating
the
sampler
oset
table
.
Raw
osets
may
be
turned
on
or
o
individually
for
each
channel.
They
follow the
channel
coupling.
F
or
dual
channel
operation,
raw
osets
should
be
turned
o
for
each channel
if the
channels
are
uncoupled.
Spur
avoidance
is
always
coupled
between
channels,
therefore both
channels
are
turned
on
or
o
at
the
same
time
.
Note
Both
functions
must
be
turned
o
to
realize
the
recall
time
savings
.
