send, for example, a frame trigger signal to the R&S
SMM100A. The
R&S
SMM100A acts still as the signal source.
2. Use suitable cables to connect the
and
connectors of the
R&S
SMM100A to the signal analyzer or the DUT.
Upon the receiving of an external trigger event, the R&S
SMM100A starts the sig-
nal generation and then generates a continuous signal. An "Arm" stops the signal
generation. A subsequent trigger event causes a restart of the signal generation.

Enabling and configuring a marker signal
Test setups often require that an external device is synchronized to the generated data
stream. For this purpose, the R&S
SMM100A can output marker signals (or markers)
also to the generated signal. The R&S
SMM100A provides several regular marker sig-
nals and marker signals specific to the firmware option. With suitable marker settings
for instance, you can mark slot or frame boundaries or mark the start of a particular
modulation symbol.
This example extends further the configurations performed in
ing a digitally modulated signal"

).
This test setup requires one oscilloscope, like the R&S
®
RTO, as additional equipment.
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
SMM100A (see
3. Use a suitable cable to connect the User 1 connector of the R&S
SMM100A to the
monitoring instrument, for example oscilloscope like R&S
®
RTO. See
