The VCO is not used except intermittently for frequency corrections and is tuned
by a fixed bias summed with VCFCU arising from DAC U950B.
Narrow Span Operation (20 kHz/div and Smaller Spans). The instrument is phase
locked.
The Main coil is driven with a fixed bias summed with DAC U950A output. See
Figure 3--14.
