Frequency Deviation
Normal Mode
It is not possible to measure the standard modulation characteristics
Delta F1 and Delta F2 with a Normal Mode connection. Instead, this
test uses the Access Code part of the burst. 111/000 patterns are used
to approximate the Delta F1 result while the Delta F2 result is
estimated using 101/010 patterns
The values can be read using the SCPI commands
READ:PSEUDO:DELTA_F1?
and
READ:PSEUDO:DELTA_F2?
Delta F1 Average Measurement
Test Mode
The measurement modulation pattern is BS0F (00001111 bits), and the
packet type is DH1/DH3/DH5.
For each byte within the payload, the frequency deviation is calculated
for the bits 2, 3 and 6,7 (Delta F1 max. values). The average for all bytes
is then taken as the Delta F1 Average value.

Delta F1 Measurement
The Delta F1 average value can be read out by using the SCPI
command:
