Figure 8-1: TTL connection for an SMU generator
In order to enhance measurement accuracy, a common reference frequency should be
used for both the R&S
ESR and the generator. If no independent 10 MHz reference
frequency is available, it is recommended that you connect the reference output of the
generator with the reference input of the R&S
ESR and that you enable usage of the
external reference on the R&S
ESR via "SETUP" >"Reference EXT".

1) Requires the option SMR-B11 to be fitted.
2) Maximum/minimum power depends on presence of Option SMR-B15/-B17 and set frequency range. For
more details see SMR data sheet.
3) Maximum/minimum power depends on presence of Option SMP-B15/-B17 and set frequency range. For
more details see SMP data sheet.
4) Requires firmware version V3.20.200 or higher on the signal generator
