[type-n female, front panel] sweep output generates output voltage, 0 to +10 v when signal generator is sweeping. output impedance < 1 ohm, can drive 2000 ohms. [bnc, rear panel] trigger input accepts cmos 1 signal for triggering point-to-point in manual sweep mode, or to trigger start of lf sweep. the damage levels are C0.5 to +5.5 v. [bnc, rear panel] trigger output outputs a ttl signal: high at start of dwell, or when waiting for point trigger in manual sweep mode; low when dwell is over or point trigger is received, high or low 2 s pulse at start of lf sweep. [bnc, rear panel] accessories general characteristics inputs and outputs all front panel connectors can be moved to rear with option 1em. 1. rear panel inputs and outputs are 3.3 v cmos, unless indicated otherwise. cmos inputs will accept 5 v cmos, 3 v cmos, or tt l voltage levels.
19 lan connector lan communication is supported by the signal generator via the lan connector. it is functionally equivalent to the gpib connector. the lan connector enables the signal generator to be remotely programmed by a lan-connected computer. the distance between a computer and the signal generator is limited to 100 meters [10baset]. for more information about the lan, refer to the getting started chapter in the programming guide . data transfer speeds lan [ftp] file transfer to volatile memory (700 kb/sec) to hard drive (500 kb/sec) lan [scpi] command transfer to volatile memory (146 kb/sec) to hard drive (128 kb/sec) internal file transfer from hard drive to volatile memory (1280 kb/sec) rs-232 connector this male db-9 connector is an rs-232 serial port that can be used for controlling the signal generator remotely. it is functionally equivalent to the gpib connector. the following table shows the description of the pinouts. the pin configuration is shown below. pin number signal description signal name 1 no connection 2 receive data recv 3 transmit data xmit 4 +5 v 5 ground, 0 v 6 no connection 7 request to send rts 8 clear to send cts 9 no connection view looking into rear panel connector general characteristics 5 4 3 2 1 9 8 7 6
