Rear Panel Interface

Figure 13. N4962A rear panel

The N4962A rear panel features connectors for the internal and external clock

system, as well as a PRBS pattern trigger, and a differential pair of connectors

for a unique data path (DataThru). The rear panel also includes a 5-bit GPIB

address switch, and a GPIB connector. The panel also features the N4962A

power switch, and a built-in cooling fan.

The DataThru/DataThru

¯¯¯¯¯¯ connectors (both SMA) are connected to the IN/IN

¯¯

connectors when the Data Path option is set to Thru (detailed in Section 2.5).

The PRBS generator is enabled and is available from the OUT/OUT

¯¯¯ connectors

when this data path is selected. The input signal is not processed by the error

detector, and errors are not counted.

The Pat TrigO connector is an output pattern trigger from the PRBS generator.

The Pat TrigO signal changes state after 32 complete PRBS bit streams have

been generated. Pat TrigO has a frequency equal to (clock_rate) / (32 *

bit_pattern_length); With a clock speed of 10 GHz, the Pat TrigO frequency is

2.4 MHz with a pattern length of 2

-1, and 0.15 Hz with a pattern length of

-1.

TX CKI and RX CKI are the transmit (PRBS generator) and receiver (error

detector) clock inputs. To use an external 500 Mb/s to 12.5 Gb/s clock signal,

connect the external clock to both TX CKI and RX CKI, as described in Sections

3.4 and 3.5, respectively.
