~ote: The Y in each of the Y-axis values represents the desired modulation frequency value (in Hz).
Multiply the numeric value in the Y -axis times the desired modulation frequency value to determine the
deviation limits. For example, to determine the maximum possible value of FM deviation for an RF
frequency of 500 MHz (the X-axis value) and a desired modulation frequency of 1000 Hz, multiply 540
times 1000. This calculation results in 540 kHz which is the maximum possible FM cieviation for these
settings.

You can determine wheter the Signal Generator will select a divide band or the heterodyne bam! Assume
an RF frequency of 100 MHz .. If you select a deviation of 90 kHz, the Signal Generator will use divide band
6 since the maximum possible deviation for band 6 is 187.5 kHz (unless Special Function 8, Prefer
Heterodyne Band, is selected). If you select 700 kHz deviation, the Signal Generator will automatically
select the heterodyne band. (Note that maximum possible deviation for the heterodyne band is 1500 kHz)
