Frequency Source - 10 MHz Output

 To set the GPS Frequency output (fixed frequency) send the following command

SOURCE:LF:REF<CR>

 There are no data parameters to be send with this command

Frequency Source - 1Hz - 5MHz Divided Output

 To set the 1 Hz - 5 MHz divider output, send the following command

SOURCE:LF:DIVIDER:FREQ{Data}<CR>

 Followed by the desired frequency. Valid multipliers are k, M

 For example, to set k5 Hz, send the following command

SOURCE:LF:DIVIDER:FREQ 5k<CR>

To query the current output, place a ? in the position of data. The unit will respond with the 

current frequency in Hz
