We don't have a guaranteed spec for PLL settling time on the WBX, and we
encourage users to experimentally determine the settling time for their
particular setup and frequency. The figure I gave is based on what I've
seen in the lab, to the best of my recollection. =) It should be pretty
straightforward to determine the settling time for your setup and
frequency step by taking a data capture of a known source.
Any time you retune a PLL VCO, it will take some time to settle. If you
need to avoid that settling time, you can do CORDIC-only tuning with
the
advanced tuning parameters to shift around within the bandwidth of your
ADC. This will provide a basically instantaneous tuning speed within a
range of 50MHz for USRP2/N2XX, or 32MHz for USRP1/E100.
