The following pages describe the numbered items shown in the ﬁgure below.

1.	AC Power	The power cord receptacle accepts a three-pronged cable that is
	Receptacle	shipped with the instrument. The line voltage is connected here.
2.	GPIB	The GPIB connector allows communications with compatible
		devices such as external controllers. It is functionally equivalent to
		the AUXILIARY INTERFACE connector.

3.SYMBOL SYNC The TTL/CMOS-compatible SYMBOL SYNC OUT connector

OUT	outputs a symbol synchronization pulse, one data-clock period wide,
	for use in digital modulation applications. This female BNC
	connector is present only on instruments with Options UND or
	UN8. With Option 201 you can select from several different output
	signals for this connector.
