Menu Path: Trace > Data > Demod > Results Table

ICFT (Initial Carrier Frequency Tolerance) is the carrier frequency offset of the analyzed burst measured over its preamble bits, relative to the nominal channel center frequency. The Core Specification (Vol 6, Part A, §3.1.2) requires the carrier to be within ±150 kHz kiloHertz: A radio frequency measurement (one kilohertz = one thousand cycles per second). of the nominal frequency.

ICFT is a per-burst result. Conformance requires every measured value to meet the limit, so with averaging ON the worst case is tracked in the Max / Min columns of the Results Table.
