operating frequency
(one-hour reading),
power-off duration <1 hour) .................. 3 minutes
Initial accuracy ....................................... ±3.2 ppb
Long-term stability
1
............................... ±50 ppb/year
Temperature stability (0 to 55 °C)

accuracy
3
Physical
Chassis requirement ............................... One 3U CompactPCI or PXI slot
(PXI Slot 2 for full functionality)
Front panel connectors ........................... SMB male, 50
Ω
Front panel indicators............................. Two tricolor LEDs (green, red,

1
Includes stability of OCXO and supporting circuitry.
2
Includes temperature stability of OCXO and supporting circuitry.
3
The DDS frequency inherits the relative frequency of PXI_CLK10. For example, if you route the OCXO to PXI_CLK10, the
DDS output inherits the same relative frequency accuracy as the OCXO output.
