2. Use suitable cables to connect the
R&S
SMBV100B to the signal analyzer or the DUT.
Upon the receiving of an external trigger event, the R&S
SMBV100B starts the
signal generation and then generates a continuous signal. An "Arm" stops the
signal generation. A subsequent trigger event causes a restart of the signal
generation.

Enabling and Configuring a Marker Signal
Test setups often require that an external device is synchronized to the generated
data stream. For this purpose, the R&S
SMBV100B can output marker signals (or
markers) also to the generated signal. The R&S
SMBV100B provides several reg-
ular marker signals and marker signals specific to the firmware option. With suita-
ble marker settings for instance, you can mark slot or frame boundaries or mark
the start of a particular modulation symbol.
This example extends further the configurations performed in
erating a Digitally Modulated Signal"

This test setup requires one oscilloscope, like the R&S
®
RTO, as additional equip-
ment.
1. In the block diagram, select "Block Diagram > Baseband > Misc > Custom
Digital Mod > Marker" tab.
2. Select "Marker Mode > Marker 1 > Pulse" and "Divider = 32".
Generated is a periodic marker with marker frequency of 120 KHz. The signal
is output at the User 1 connector of the R&S
SMBV100B (see
3. Use a suitable cable to connect the User 1 connector of the R&S
SMBV100B
to the monitoring instrument, for example oscilloscope like R&S
®
RTO. See
