| CW mode | Output | Twenty independent, presettable CW frequencies (F0 to F9 and M0 to M9) |
| Accuracy | Same as internal or external 10 MHz time base |
| Internal time base stability | With aging: <2 x 10–8/day (<5 x 10–10/day with Option 16)
stability With temperature: <2 x 10–8/°C over 0°C(<2 x 10–10/°C with Option 16) |
| Resolution | 1 kHz (0.1 Hz with Option 11) |
| Switching time | <40 ms to be within 1 kHz of final frequency (typical maximum) |
| CW power sweep | Range | Sweeps between any two power levels at a single CW frequency |
| Resolution | 0.01 dB/step |
| Accuracy | Same as CW power accuracy |
| Step size | User-controlled, 0.01 dB to the full power range of the instrument |
| Step dwell time | Variable from 1 ms to 99 seconds. If the sweep crosses a step attenuator setting, there will be a sweep dwell of approximately 20 ms to allow setting of the step attenuator. |
