7.8. CLOCK SOURCE
The
GX 1030
provides an internal 10 MHz clock source. It also can accept external clock source form the [10 MHz In/Out]
connector at the rear panel. It can also output the clock source from the [10 MHz In/Out] connector for other devices.
Press
[Utility] → [Page 1/2] → [Clock] → [Source]
to select Internal or External and select Enable or Disable
10 MOut
. If
External is selected, the
10 MOut
will be set to Disable‖ and the instrument will detect whether a valid external clock signal is input
at the [10 MHz In/Out] connector at the rear panel. If not, the prompt message No external clock source would be displayed and
the clock source would be switched to Internal.
Sync methods for two or more instruments:
Synchronization between two instruments
Connect the [10 MHz In/Out] connector of generator A (using internal clock) to the [10 MHz In/Out] connector of generator B (using
external clock) and set the output frequencies of A and B to the same value to achieve synchronization.
Synchronization among multiple instruments
Divide the 10 MHz clock source of a generator (using internal clock) into multiple channels, and then connect them to the [10 MHz
In/Out] connectors of other generators (using External clock), and finally set the output frequencies of all the generators to the
same value to achieve synchronization.
7.9. PHASE MODE
Press
[Utility] → [Page 1/2] → [PhaseMode]
to enter the mode setup Interface, as shown in Figure 88 Mode Setup Interface.
Figure 87: Mode Setup Interface
Phase-locked Mode
When changing the frequency, the DDSs of both channels reset, and the phase deviation between CH1 and CH2 is maintained.
