Description

The CF command specifies the value of the center frequency.

The step size depends on whether the frequency has been coupled to the span width using the CS command (page 135). When coupled, the step size is 10% of the span, or one major graticule division; when uncoupled, the step size is determined by the SS command (page 317).
