4.9.3.1 External Reference
The R&S ESU can use the internal reference source or an external reference
source as frequency standard from which all internal oscillators are derived. A 10
MHz crystal oscillator is used as internal reference source. In the default setting
(internal reference), this frequency is available as output signal at rear-panel con-
nector REF OUT, e.g. to synchronize other instruments to the reference of the
R&S ESU.
In the setting REFERENCE EXT , the connector REF IN is used as input connector
for an external frequency standard. In this case all internal oscillators of the
R&S ESU are synchronized to the external reference frequency.
REFERENCE
FREQUENCY
As of firmware version 4.4x, instead of the REFERENCE INT / EXT softkey, the firm-
ware provides the REFERENCE FREQUENCY softkey. This softkey opens a sub-
menu to configure the reference more precisely.
To maintain the setup of a test system, the reference settings do not change if a pre-
set is performed.
