Dear Andrew,

Thanks for the answer! It’s a bit unfortunate that I will not be able to precalculate the bin size, but the SA124B is still a great spectrum analyser!

A follow-up and probably related question regarding the start frequency and center frequency. For a sufficiently large RBW, I find it difficult to get the exact center frequency that I set through saConfigCenterSpan. Although as far as I know, it’s usually within a bin size distance away from the one I set through saConfigCenterSpan. Is this always the case that I will never be able to set it to the exact center frequency that I want?
