Switching Speed

Type	Switching Speed
SCPI mode	≤ 5 ms typical
List/Step sweep mode	≤ 5 ms typical

NOTE: Time of receipt of SCPI command or trigger signal to within 0.1ppm of final frequency or within 100 Hz, whichever is greater, and amplitude settled to within 0.2 dB. Additional time may be required for the amplitude to settle within 0.2 dB when switching to or from frequencies < 500 kHz or amplitudes > +5 dBm.
