External Reference Input Specifications
The External Reference Input selection allows the user to provide their own high stability
10 MHz reference clock for the 5820A for all functions except the Wave Generator
function. For all other modes, the frequency stability is determined by the external
reference stability. The external reference input must be between 1 to 5 V p-p.
1-29.
Auxiliary Input/Output Specifications
The maximum input voltage for the auxiliary input is 40 V p-p.
