CF Step

Changes the step size for the center frequency function. Once a step size has been selected and the center frequency function is activated, the arrow keys change the center frequency by the step- size value. The step size function is useful for finding harmonics and sidebands beyond the current frequency span of the analyzer. When auto- coupled, the center size is set to one division (10 percent of the span).
