Any function which is using the modulation oscillator as a source, (MOD OUTPUT or
internal AM, FM, <PM, or pulse modulation), now has a rate of 1000 kIlz regardless of
any previous modulation oscillator rate setting. The cursor above the modulation output
value indicates Modulation Output is the active function.

Speeding Up Modulation Switching Time
A t instrument turn on, all mod ula tion oscilla tor frequency bands are characterized and
given a calibration factor (Modulation Frequency Calibration). When the modulation
oscillator frequency is set or the modulation oscillator placed in use, the selected
modulation oscillator frequency and its individual frequency band are recalibrated to
correct for inaccuracies due to changes in temperature (Modulation Frequency
Correction). A single calibration of all modulation oscillator frequency bands can be
Initiated using Special Function 248.
If faster switching between modulation frequencies is desired, Modulation
Frequency Correctil,n can be disabled by selecting I'vlodulation Frequency Correction Off
(Special Function 113). This special function decreases switching time by approximately
200 TIlS. Automatic modulation frequency correction can be fe-enabled by selecting
