Description This softkey lets you set a frequency multiplier value and applies it to all frequency parameters. Any integer value between and including f36 is accepted. Changing the multiplier value changes the display, it does not affect the output of the synthesizer.

For example:

1.Set the start frequency to 4 GHz.

2.Set the stop frequency to 10 GHz.

3.Set the frequency multiplier to 5.

Note that the display indicates start=20 GHz, stop=50 GHz and asterisks appear next to the frequency data.

4.Now set the stop frequency to 30 GHz. The synthesizer frequency is 6 GHz, or 30 GHz + 5.

Frequency multiplier and offset are related as shown by the following equation:

Entered value or Displayed Frequency = (Frequency Generated x Multiplier) + Offset value
