Rear panel features
1.
Power inlet/switch, fuse module — Connects the instrument to AC power.
2.
RF OUT — Outputs the RF signal from instruments that have a rear Type-N RF output (Models 2910-R and
2910-RRK).
3.
VGA OUT — Connects the instrument display to an external monitor.
4.
Digital I/O — Outputs four programmable TTL signals.
5.
USB (from host) — Connects to a USB port on a computer. The computer then remotely controls the
instrument.
6.
USB (to device) — Connects to a USB device: mouse, keyboard, or flash drive.
7.
GPIB connector — Connects to GPIB control bus for remote operation.
8.
LAN — Connects to an Ethernet network for remote operation.
9.
REF OUT — Provides a frequency reference to synchronize other instruments (10 MHz).
10.
REF IN — Synchronizes the internal frequency reference to an external frequency reference (programmable
from 1 MHz to 20 MHz in 10-Hz increments).
11.
EVEN SEC OUT — Provides an even second clock to synchronize other instruments.
12.
EVEN SEC IN — Synchronizes the internal frequency reference to an even-second clock.
13.
SYNC OUT — Provides a signal for synchronizing events. It is often used in conjunction with the trigger input
signal to notify another device that the requested event has been performed.
14.
TRIG IN — Accepts a trigger from an external device to initiate an event in the 2910.
15.
Q-IN — Accepts an external signal to directly drive the Q-input of the I/Q modulator.
16.
I-IN — Accepts an external signal to directly drive the I-input of the I/Q modulator.
