Using the Agilent E1439
Managing multiple modules
• For backplane distribution make sure that all modules conform to VXI specification 1.4 or
later with regard to their attachment to the ECL Trigger lines. See the Agilent E1439
Technical Specifications for the clock jitter (phase noise) specification degradation using
backplane distribution.
• Front panel distribution requires the use of two short, equal length cables with SMB
connectors between modules. In addition, unused SMB connectors on modules being used for
front panel distribution must be terminated in 50 ohms.
The following diagrams show typical multi-module configurations and the clock setups that apply
to each module:
