Each time the frequency switches, there is an accompanying amplitude settling time associated with the internal hardware settings change. You can use NI-RFSG to set desired amplitude settling values and ensure that the amplitude is settled. You may experience overshoot or undershoot in amplitude level while the amplitude settles.

Amplitude settling takes different lengths of time depending on whether the device ALC is operating in open-loop mode or closed-loop mode.

Note Refer to the PXIe-5654 Specifications document for amplitude settling times.
