Reduced data rate on FSK modulation

Will it be possible to reduce the data rate on FSK modulation below 2kbs
We would like to use 1kbs or lower, testing remote control circuitry.

Ewald,
Unfortunately, there are some hardware limitations. The lowest clock to the I/Q DAC is 53.333 kHz, so for 1 kbps you could use 64 samples per symbol at 64 kHz. The down side of this is that with only 2048 samples, you could only have a pattern up to 32 symbols. The software we provide requires at least 127 symbols for a PN7 sequence, so we cut off at 4 kHz symbol rate. But using an arb file, you could generate a 1 kbps, up to 32 bit pattern sequence.

To do this, you would have to ensure a phase continuous waveform when it crosses back from sample 2047 to sample 0. This places some limitations on modulation index.
