4.1.6. Front Panel Connections

4.1.6.1. MAIN OUT
This is the 50Ω output from the main generator. It will provide up to 20V peak-to-peak
e.m.f. which will yield 10V peak-to-peak into a matched 50Ω load. It can tolerate a short
circuit for 60 seconds.
Do not apply external voltages to this output.
4.1.6.2. AUX OUT
This is a TTL/CMOS level output synchronous with MAIN OUT. Symmetry is the same as
that set for the main output but the phase relationship between MAIN OUT and AUX OUT
is determined by the PHASE setting specified on the TRIGger menu.
AUX OUT logic levels are nominally 0V and 5V from typically 50Ω. AUX OUT will withstand
a short-circuit.
Do not apply external voltages to this output.
4.1.6.3. EXT TRIG
This is the external trigger input for Trigger, Gate, Sweep, FSK and HOP operating modes.
It is also the input used to synchronise the generator (as a slave) to another (which is the
master).
Do not apply external voltages exceeding ±10 V.

4.1.7. Rear Panel Connections

4.1.7.1. CLOCK IN/OUT
The function of the CLOCK IN/OUT socket is set from the SYStem menu as follows:
INPUT
OUTPUT
PHASE LOCK
As an output the logic levels are nominally 1V and 4V from typically 50Ω. CLOCK OUT will
withstand a short-circuit. As an input the thresholds is TTL/CMOS compatible.
Do not apply external voltages to this output exceeding +7·5 V or -2·5 V.
4.1.7.2. VCA IN
This is the input socket for external voltage controlled amplitude (VCA). Input impedance is
nominally 6kΩ. Apply 2·5V for 100% level change at maximum output.
Do not apply external voltages exceeding ±10V.
4.1.7.3. SYNC OUT
When two or more generators are synchronised the SYNC OUT socket on the master
generator is connected to the EXT TRIG inputs of slave generators.
12 - II
The socket becomes an input for an external clock.
This is the default setting. The internal clock is made available at the
socket. When two or more generators are synchronised the 'master' is
set to OUTPUT and the signal is used to drive the CLOCK IN inputs of
the slaves.
When two or more generators are synchronised the slaves are set to
PHASE LOCK.
