Combining Parameters for Signal
Generation
The following table shows you how the various modes and
parameters can be combined. Empty cells indicate that the
combination is not applicable:
NOTE For the clock source, the Internal YIG Oscillator, External Clock
Input and 10 MHz Reference can be used as the clock source for
all combinations. The Internal Direct and External Direct can only
be used as the clock source for Square pattern mode and NRZ
signal mode.
Instrument Modes
The instrument provides the following modes:
•Pulse/Pattern Mode
In this mode, each channel can be set independently to generate
a continuous stream of:
– Square waves (clocks) of fixed width
– Pulses with selectable width or duty cycle
