Channel Inputs

and Outputs

The Agilent 81133A/81134A pulse generator provides the following inputs and outputs:

Channel Specific Inputs and Outputs For each channel:

•One Delay Control Input to apply an external signal for jitter modulation.

For more information, see “Jitter Modulation” on page 83.

•One normal and one inverted Output for the generated signal

Global Inputs and Outputs For the instrument:

•Clock Input

The clock input is used to apply an external clock signal or a reference signal for the internal PLL if a higher frequency accuracy than 50ppm is required.

This input can be AC or DC terminated. If it is DC is terminated, the termination voltage can be set.

For more information, see “Clock Sources” on page 73.

•Start Input

The start input is used to start the instrument on an external signal. For more information, see “Start Mode” on page 75.

•Trigger Output

The trigger output can be used to trigger another instrument. For more information, see “Trigger Out” on page 75.
