1– N-type RF input connector

This N-type female connector receives the RF signal input, via cable or
antenna. The input signal frequency range is 9 kHz to 6.2 GHz.

2– Ref In (external reference) connector

Use this SMA female connector to connect an external 10 MHz
reference clock signal to the analyzer.

3– Trigger/Sync connector

This SMA female connector accepts TTL-level signals (0 – 5.0 V), and
can be rising- or falling-edge triggered.
