Getting Started

Rear Panel Features

3b

EXT TRIG IN (TTL)

accepts the positive

edge of an external voltage input that
triggers the spectrum analyzer internal
sweep source.

3c

HI SWP OUT (TTL)

indicates when the

spectrum analyzer is sweeping.

4

(Shown) HP-IB and parallel (Option A4H) are
optional interfaces. HP-IB supports remote instrument
operation and direct printing of screen data. The
parallel port is for printing only.

(Not Shown) RS-232 and parallel (Option 1AX)

are optional interfaces. RS-232 supports remote
instrument operation and direct printing of screen
data. The parallel port is for printing only.

NOTE

Only one optional interface can be installed at a time. Option 1AX or
Option A4H must be installed in slot 1 on the rear panel. Option A4H is
shown installed in slot 1 in Figure 6.

Spectrum Analyzer Inputs/Outputs (Option A4J):

SWP OUT

provides a voltage ramp corresponding to the

sweep of the spectrum analyzer (0 V to 10 V).

HI SWP OUT (TTL)

indicates when the spectrum analyzer

is sweeping.

HI SWP IN (TTL)

can be grounded to stop sweeping.

AUX VIDEO OUT

provides detected video output (before

the analog-to-digital conversion) proportional to
vertical deflection of the trace. Output is from 0 V to 1
V. Amplitude-correction factors are not applied to this
signal. The output signal will be blanked occasionally
during retrace by the automatic alignment routine.
Select a very long sweep time to minimize this, or turn
off the

Auto Align All

function (and use

Align Now All

manually to maintain calibration.) Refer to the

Alignments

key description in Chapter 4 for more

information on alignment key functions.

AUX IF OUT

is a 50

Ω

, 21.4 MHz IF output that is the

down- converted signal of the RF input of the spectrum
analyzer. Amplitude-correction factors are not applied
to this signal. This output is taken after the resolution
bandwidth filters and step gains and before the log
amplifier. The output signal will be blanked
occasionally during retrace by the automatic alignment
routine. Select a very long sweep time to minimize this,
or turn off the

Auto Align All
