10 MHz signal connected to the rear-panel Ref In connector.
On some instruments External is divided into External (±2 ppm) and External (±1 k ppm)
selections. The narrow External (±2 ppm) setting locks the timebase within 2 ppm of 10 MHz.
The wide External (±1 k ppm) allows the timebase to be within 1 k ppm of 10 MHz.
