8600 Operation Manual - V1.0
Front Panel Connections
The 8600 features 5 BNC connectors on the front panel for simple connections to frequency
counters and sources. 3 of the BNC connections are used for OUTPUT, 2 of the connectors are used
for INPUT.
Output Connectors
Output connectors are provided for Low Frequency (up to 10 MHz) outputs A and B, and a
dedicated output for the High Frequency (up to 1.05 GHz) output.
Only the active function will have an output present at the terminal, other terminals are
disconnected while not in use.
Low Frequency output A is used for the primary 10 MHz output, Frequency Divider(1,2,5
sequence) and Variable level outputs(5V Square and Variable Sine Wave)
Low Frequency output B is only active when in Phase Offset mode.
Input Connectors
Input connectors are provided for both low frequency input (up to 10 MHz) and high frequency
input (up to 1.05 GHz) via two BNC inputs.
Input Characteristics
The Low Frequency input has an input impedance of 1 MOhm, an input capacitance of 25pF
and has a maximum input of 20V
The High Frequency input has an input impedance of 50 Ohms, with a maximum input of 1V
