Getting Started 1179.1335.02 ─ 04

Adv Data/Ctrl

Interface for exchanging of external data and control signals.

Adv. Trg., Adv. Clk.

Input and output for synchronization signal in multi-instrument setups.
See also "Multi-Instrument Setups" in the user manual.

I/Q, I/Q Bar

BNC connector for output of direct (single-ended) or differential analog I/Q sig-
nals.

Note: 

The R&S

 

SMM100A also assigns the internal signal of the LF generator to

the I output connector.
Therefore, consider that you cannot output the analog I/Q signal and the internal
LF signal at the same physical connector simultaneously.
See the data sheet and in the user manual, section "Analog Modulation".
Use the connectors for connections as follows:

●

I/Q connectors: Direct (single-ended) or positive differential output of analog
I/Q signals

●

I/Q Bar connectors: Negative differential output of analog I/Q signals
