I want "-0x40000000" to program a generator to make -16.000 MHz.
Apart from connecting the '-' sign to a '-' sign in the frequency display,
I have no idea what -16 MHz would be.
Or shift 16 MHz down?
Or 180 degrees phase flipped?
What is a negative frequency?
In a DDS, negative frequency corresponds to putting a negative number
into the phase accumulator. That walks a waveform table backwards.
Waveforms then come out "inverted" in time. And if I create a
polyphase waveform set that spins a motor clockwise, when I program
the frequency to be negative, the motor will spin CCW. There are all
sorts of uses for this.
It's equivalent to asking for a frequency past Nyquist, and using the
resulting alias.

Interesting variation on negative amplitude.
Oh, our products can do negative amplitudes, too. You can set the
full-scale output of a channel to be 4 volts "3Amplitude 4.0" or -5
volts "6Amplitude -5". Negative amplitude flips along the Y axis;
negative frequency flips along T.
Fun.
