Signal Generator Overview

Front Panel

18. RF OUTPUT

This connector is the output for RF and microwave signals. The nominal output impedance is 50Ω. The reverse-power damage levels are 0 Vdc, 0.5 watts nominal. On signal generators with Option 1EM, this output is relocated to a rear panel female BNC connector.

19. SYNC OUT

This female BNC output connector (E8257C and E8267C only) outputs a synchronizing TTL-compatible pulse signal that is nominally 50 ns wide during internal and triggered pulse modulation. The nominal source impedance is 50Ω. On signal generators with Option 1EM, this output is relocated to the rear panel.

20. VIDEO OUT

This female BNC output connector (E8257C and E8267C only) outputs a TTL-level compatible pulse signal that follows the output envelope in all pulse modes. The nominal source impedance is 50Ω. On signal generators with Option 1EM, this output is relocated to the rear panel.

21. Line Power LED

This green LED indicates when the signal generator power switch is set to the on position.

22. Power Switch

In the on position, this switch activates full power to the signal generator; in standby, it deactivates all signal generator functions. In standby, the signal generator remains connected to the line power and power is supplied to some internal circuits.

23. Standby LED

This yellow LED indicates when the signal generator power switch is set to the standby condition.

24. Incr Set

This hardkey enables you to set the increment value of the current active function. This the increment value of the current active function appears in the active entry area of the display. Use the numeric keypad, arrow hardkeys, or the knob to adjust the increment value.

25. GATE/PULSE/TRIGGER INPUT

This female BNC input connector (E8257C and E8267C only) accepts an externally supplied pulse signal for use as a pulse or trigger input. With pulse modulation, +1V is on and 0V is off (trigger threshold of 0.5V with a hysteresis of 10%; so 0.6V would be on and 0.4V would be off). The damage levels are ±5Vrms and
