impedance

External auxiliary input (AUX INPUT)

Input voltage limits -10V to +10V

External AM input (EXT AM)

±1 volt into a 5 k Ω resistor, 1 kHz maximum, resulting in approximately 8 dB/volt amplitude modulation.

BNC (f) connector.

External trigger (EXT TRIGGER)

Triggers on a negative TTL transition or contact closure to ground. BNC (f) connector.

Test sequence output (TEST SEQ)

By default, this connector outputs a TTL end-of-sweep signal. It can also be programmed by the user in a test sequence to output a user-defined TTL signal. BNC (f) connector.

Limit test output (LIMIT TEST)

This connector outputs a TTL signal of the limit test results. Pass: TTL high. Fail: TTL low. BNC (f) connec- tor.

Test-port bias input (BIAS CONNECT) (HP 8753ES only)

Maximum voltage	+30 VDC
Maximum current	±200 mA
(no degradation in RF specs)	±200 mA
Maximum current	±1 A
Connector	BNC (f)

VGA video output (EXT MON)

This connector drives external VGA monitors.

GP-IB

This connector allows communications with compati- ble devices including external controllers, printers, plotters, disk drives, and power meters.

Parallel port

This 25-pin female connector is used with parallel peripherals. It can also be used as a general purpose I/O port.

RS-232C

This 9-pin male connector is used with serial peripherals.

DIN keyboard

This mini-DIN connector is used for adding an IBM PC-AT compatible keyboard.

Test set interconnect

This connector is used to connect an HP 8753ES Option 011 to the HP 85046A/B or 85047A test set. HP 8753ES analyzers without Option 011 can use sig- nal levels on this connector for sequencing or general purpose I/O applications.
