CONNECTORS

STOP SWEEP IN/OUT

stops a sweep when this input is pulled

low. Retrace does not occur, and the sweep resumes when this input
is pulled high. The open circuit voltage is TTL high and is internally
pulled low when the synthesizer stops its sweep. Externally forcing

this input high will not cause damage or disrupt normal operation.

10 MHz REF INPUT

accepts a 10 MHz

Hz, 0 to

reference signal for operation referenced to an external time base.
Nominal input impedance is 50

10 MHz REF OUTPUT

provides a 0

10 MHz signal derived

from the internal frequency standard of the synthesizer. This input
is a

connector that can be used as the master clock reference

output for a network of instruments.

TRIGGER INPUT

activated on a TTL rising edge. Used to

externally initiate an analog sweep or to advance to the next point of
a step list or a frequency list.

TRIGGER OUTPUT

Produces a 1

wide TTL-level pulse at 1601

points evenly spaced across an analog sweep, or at each point in a
step list or a frequency list.

supplies a voltage that is proportional to the RF

output frequency, with a ratio of 0.5 volt output for every 1

of

RF frequency (factory setting). This ratio is switchable to either
0.25 or 1 volt. The switch is located on the

SYTM assembly, see

Adjustments in the

Service Guide

for information.

Z-AXIS

supplies a positive rectangular pulse

(approximately

into 2

during the retrace and switch points

when the synthesizer is sweeping. This output also supplies a
pulse when the RF output is coincident with a marker frequency.

AUXILIARY INTERFACE

connector provides control signals to the

HP

S-parameter test set switch doubler. This connector is a

D-subminiature receptacle located on the rear panel. It is also

used for dual synthesizer measurement systems (two-tone systems),
refer to Step Control Master for more information.
