The Product automatically detects the mains frequency but a specific line
frequency can be set here in non-volatile memory. To change the Line
Frequency, use the navigation keys to move the cursor to highlight this field
and then push  (Auto) or  (50 Hz)  (60 Hz). The Auto setting
measures the line frequency at the time the Auto settings is made and at
Product power-on. It does not continually monitor the line frequency nor does it
use an off-nominal value.
When on, this enables the rear-panel FREQ REF IN input to use an external
1 MHz or 10 MHz clock. To change the External Reference Clock, use the
navigation keys to move the cursor to highlight this field and then push 
(OFF) or  (1MHz) or  (10MHz).
