This connector is only available if the R&S FPL1-B5 option is installed.
For details, see "Data Output" on page 374.
4.2.2.13 Noise Source Control
The Noise Source Control female connector is used to provide the supply voltage for
an external noise source. For example, use it to measure the noise figure and gain of
amplifiers and frequency converting devices.
This connector is only available if the R&S FPL1-B5 option is installed.
Conventional noise sources require a voltage of +28 V to be switched on and 0 V to be
switched off. The output supports a maximum load of 100 mA.
