FRONT & REAR PANELS
The front panel includes a 50Ω SMA RF input. Do
not exceed +20 dBm or damage may occur. A
READY / BUSY LED flashes orange each time a
command from the computer is processed.
The rear panel has three connectors:
1) 10 MHz Reference input, automatically detected
after each sweep completes. Use a clean 10 MHz
reference with >0 dBm level. +13 dBm is
recommended.
2) A USB type B connector. Connect to your PC
using the included USB cable.
3) A multi-purpose BNC connector. This may be
used as a Self Test Signal output, a Tracking
Generator Sync signal, or a TTL/CMOS trigger/sync
in some legacy modes. The Signal Hound software
controls the function of this BNC. It defaults to
unused / no output.
