Controls |
ON/OFF |
Power switch (LED red when on) |
ROW / COLUMN (Signal selectors) |
Selects desired signal
Signal output at RF Output starts ~2 s after selection,or when Signal LED stops blinking. |
INT/EXT - select between |
INT:Internal signal / modulation (LED on)
EXT:Use EXTERNAL I/Q modulation inputs (LED on)
OFF:No output (LED on)FREERUN
Waveforms continuously output (LED on)
Single
Single instance / pulse output (LED on), press TRIGGER to generate
When in SINGLE mode, the TRIGGER LED blinks at about a 1 Hz rate to indicate it's waiting for a trigger event. |
Inputs and outputs |
USB |
Two USB 1.0/2.x ports for power, 800 mA minimum |
External I and Q inputs |
DC - 5 MHz, 50 Ω inputs, 1 Vp-p (+4 dBm) maximum |
Baseband I and Q outputs |
DC - 5 MHz, 50 Ω, ±100 mV into 50 Ω |
