SSG5000A User Manual 10
The interface can be connected to a compatible computer and controlled by software on
the host computer.
5. EXT MOD INPUT
Input BNC connection for an external modulation.
6. 10MHz IN
The
[10MHz IN]
and
[10MHz OUT]
connectors are commonly used to establish
synchronization between multiple instruments. The RF source can use an internal
reference source or an external reference source.
If the instrument detects that there is a valid 10MHz IN signal at the
[10MHz IN]
connector,
it will use it as an external reference source. At this point the user interface status bar
shows "Ext Ref". When an external reference is lost, exceeded, or disconnected, the
instrument automatically switches to the internal reference, and the screen status bar will
no longer display "Ext Ref".
7. 10MHz OUT
The
[10MHz IN]
and
[10MHz OUT]
connectors are commonly used to establish
synchronization between multiple instruments. The RF source can use an internal
reference source or an external reference source.
If the instrument uses an internal reference source, the [10MHz OUT] connector can
output a 10MHz clock signal generated by the instrument and can be used to synchronize
other devices.
8. PULSE IN/OUT
The function of the connector is determined by the current mode of pulse modulation.
