Clock Module
The DSGA has one clock module, which generates the reference clock for all generators and trigger
outputs (Figure 4).
There is an internal reference clock, but the user can select to use an external clock instead. A PLL
generates the requested system frequency.
The internal reference clock is output at another connector, which can also be switched to output the
external reference clock (for daisy chaining).
Note that all switches shown in the figure can be operated independently.
The front-panel of the BIT-3001B clock module has a color LED. The LED is orange when the clock
configuration is stopped due to an invalid configuration. The LED is red when the clock signal is
unstable (e.g. when an external reference clock is missing or unstable).
