bbowar,

The algorithm is basically the same, but with the SA44B, software image and spur rejection is on by default, and this can cause inaccuracies if the signal changes rapidly. The BB60C defaults to using only hardware image and spur rejection, so it is immune from this added measurement error, and will be more accurate for dynamic, real-world signals.
