Enabling and Configuring a Marker Signal
Test setups often require synchronization of an external device with the generated
data stream. For this purpose, the R&S
SMCV100B can output maximum two
marker signals (or markers) also to the generated signal.
The R&S
SMCV100B provides four regular marker signals. You can output two of
the marker signals, one to each of the "User"1/2 connectors.
With suitable marker settings for instance, you can mark slot or frame boundaries
or mark the start of a particular modulation symbol.

This test setup requires one oscilloscope, like the R&S
®
RTO, as additional equip-
ment.
1. In the block diagram, select "Block Diagram > Baseband > Misc > Custom
Digital Mod > Marker" tab.
2. Select "Marker Mode > Marker 1 > Pulse" and "Divider = 32".
Generated is a periodic marker with marker frequency of 120
KHz. The signal
is output at the "User" 1 connector of the R&S
SMCV100B (see
3. Use a suitable cable to connect the "User" 1 connector of the
R&S
SMCV100B to the monitoring instrument, for example an oscilloscope
like R&S
®
RTO. See
