E4438C Vector Signal Generator Overview
Rear Panel Overview
EVENT 3 Pin-19 of the Aux I/O connector is used with an internal baseband generator. In arbitrary
waveform mode, this pin outputs a timing signal generated by Marker 3.
The marker 3 output level is +3.3 V CMOS regardless of marker polarity settings.The
reverse damage levels for this connector pin are > +5.5 volts and < −0.5 volts.
EVENT 4 Pin-18 of the Aux I/O connector is used with an internal baseband generator. In arbitrary
waveform mode, this pin outputs a timing signal generated by Marker 4.
The marker 4 output level is +3.3 V CMOS regardless of marker polarity settings. The
reverse damage levels for this connector pin are > +5.5 volts and < −0.5 volts.
PATT TRIG IN 2 Pin-17 of the Aux I/O connector accepts a signal that triggers an internal pattern or frame
generator to start single pattern output. Minimum pulse width is 100 ns. Damage levels
are > +5.5 and < −0.5 V.
SYM SYNC OUT Pin-5 of the Aux I/O connector is used with an internal baseband generator. This pin
outputs the CMOS symbol clock for symbol synchronization, one data clock period
wide. Damage levels are > +5.5 volts and < −0.5 volts.
BER MEAS TRIG/BER

Pin-22 is used for bit error rate testing (Option UN7). Damage levels are > +5.5 volts
and < −0.5 volts.
BER ERR OUT Pin-21 is used for bit error rate testing (Option UN7). Damage levels are > +5.5 volts
and < −0.5 volts
BER TEST OUT Pin-20 is used for bit error rate testing (Option UN7). Damage levels are > +5.5 volts
and < −0.5 volts
BER SYNC LOSS Pin-4 is used for bit error rate testing (Option UN7). Damage levels are > +5.5 volts and
< −0.5 volts.
BER MEAS END Pin-1 is used for bit error rate testing (Option UN7). Damage levels are > +5.5 volts and
< −0.5 volts.
