soft_frequency_alarm_threshold
Threshold to trigger the soft frequency alarms in the
sts_reference_sources registers.
This is only used for monitoring.
hard_frequency_alarm_threshold
Threshold to trigger the hard frequency alarms in
the sts_reference_sources registers, which can
cause a reference source rejection.

To calculate the limit in ppm, add one to the 4-bit
value in the register, and multiply by 3.81 ppm. The
limit is symmetrical about zero. A value of 0010 bin
corresponds to an alarm limit of ±11.43 ppm.
To calculate the limit in ppm, add one to the 4-bit
value in the register, and multiply by 3.81 ppm. The
limit is symmetrical about zero. A value of 0011 bin
corresponds to an alarm limit of ±15.24 ppm.

current_soft_frequency_alarm_threshold
Threshold to trigger the soft frequency alarm in the
sts_reference_sources register applying to the
currently selected source.The currently selected
source can be monitored for frequency using
different limits to all other sources.
current_hard_frequency_alarm_threshold
Threshold to trigger the hard frequency alarm in the
sts_reference_sources register applying to the
currently selected source.
