External Reference Example
The following example configures the counter to tune to an external reference if
present, and the expected external frequency is 10 MHz.

Detecting a Valid External Reference Signal
ExtRef will appear in the top, right corner of the display when a valid (external)
reference is present. If a valid frequency is not present or was not specified, the
message "No valid external timebase" is displayed. The error is also logged in the
error queue.
The presence of a valid external reference can be determined programmatically
with the command:
[SENSe:]ROSCillator:EXTernal:CHECk ONCE
Prior to sending the command,
SENSe:ROSCillator:SOURce:AUTO OFF
The following example checks for an external reference signal applied to the Ext
Ref In connector.
SENS:ROSC:SOUR EXT
SENS:ROSC:EXT:CHEC ONCE
