The "Signal Source" output allows you to generate a signal that can be fed into
the DUT or other external accessories like frequency dividers or amplifiers. You
can connect the DUT or accessories with a cable that has a male N connector.
Headphone jack
The female headphone jack allows you to connect headphones (or external
speakers) with a miniature jack plug.
You can control the output voltage with the volume control integrated into the firm-
ware. Refer to the user manual for details.
If you connect headphones or external speakers, the R&S
FPC automatically
turns off the internal speaker.
