current measurement.
For example, the display shows:
50MHz
(10,C)
This is equivalent to reference number 4 in Table 1-1 and when 
looked up in Table 1-2 shows that:
• the sensor type is 8480 series
• a sensor calibration table is selected (10)
• a frequency dependent offset table is selected(C).

Where “y” is the frequency multiplier (M or G), “nn” is the 
sensor calibration table number and “a” is the frequency 
dependent offset table letter.
