Because they are opened in "database mode": you get a window 
showing all the series, from which you can import selected

contain series of mixed frequencies.

Well yes, but take a look at the details.  One gives the "raw" 
sample periodogram and the other gives a smoothed version (along 
with fractional integration tests).
