"10 MHz, 100 MHz, 1GHz"
Selects the external reference frequency.

Synchronization Bandwidth
("External Reference Frequency = 10 MHz, 100 MHz or 1 GHz")
Selects the synchronization bandwidth for an external reference signal.
The resulting bandwidth is indicated with the parameter Nominal Synchronization
Bandwidth.
"Narrow"
The internal reference oscillator is synchronized to the external signal
with narrow bandwidth (< 1 Hz). This setting is recommended if the
phase noise of the external signal is worse than the phase noise of
the internal OCXO.
"Wide"
This mode is the recommended standard mode and for precise refer-
ence sources of high spectral purity.
Note: If the frequency of the external reference signal is outside the
locking range of the internal reference oscillator, spurs due to the dif-
ference of the internal and external reference frequency are gener-
ated in the reference PLL.
An error message is displayed.

Nominal Synchronization Bandwidth
Indicates the nominal synchronization bandwidth for the selected external reference
frequency and synchronization bandwidth.

[:SOURce]:ROSCillator:EXTernal:NSBandwidth? on page 641
Minimum Locking Range
Indicates the minimum locking range for the selected external reference frequency.

External Tuning Active
For "Source > Internal", activates the EFC (external frequency control).
