Connector
Reference signal
Usage
Ref. In
10 MHz
10 dBm
To provide an external reference signal on the
R&S
FPL1000.
Ref. Out
10 MHz
10 dBm
To provide the internal reference signal from the
R&S
FPL1000 to another device continuously.
For the R&S
FPL1000, this is also used to provide the
optional OCXO reference signal to another device.
5.2.2.5
Trigger In
Use the female Trigger In connector to input an external trigger or gate data. Thus, you
can control the measurement using an external signal. The voltage level is 1.4
V. The
typical input impedance is 10
kΩ.
5.2.2.6
DVI
You can connect an external monitor or other display device to the R&S
FPL1000 via
the DVI (Digital visual interface) connector to provide an enlarged display.
For details, see
Chapter 5.1.9, "Connecting an External Monitor"
5.2.2.7
LAN
The R&S
FPL1000 is equipped with a network interface and can be connected to an
Ethernet LAN (local area network). The network card can be operated with a 1 GBit
Ethernet IEEE 802.3u interface. Thus, a crossover cable is not necessary (due to Auto-
MDI(X) functionality).
The assignment of the RJ-45 connector supports twisted-pair category 5 UTP/STP
cables in a star configuration (UTP stands for
unshielded twisted pair
, and STP for
shielded twisted pair
).
Provided the network administrator has assigned you the appropriate rights and adap-
ted the Windows firewall configuration, you can use the interface, for example:
●
To transfer data between a controlling device and the test device, e.g. to run a
remote control program.
●
To access or control the measurement from a remote computer using the "Remote
Desktop" application (or a similar tool)
●
To connect external network devices (e.g. printers)
●
To transfer data from a remote computer and back, e.g. using network folders
