Agilent X-Series Signal Generators User’s Guide 19
Signal Generator Overview
Rear Panel Overview (N5171B, N5172B, N5181B, & N5182B)
Markers (pins 1-4)
Each Arb–based waveform point has a marker on/off condition associated with it.
Each real-time signal can be routed to the output marker signals using SCPI commands or the real-time
personalities.
Marker level = +3.3 V high (positive polarity selected); 0V low (negative polarity selected).
Event 1 (pin 1)
Pin 1 outputs a pulse that can be used to trigger the start of a data pattern, frame, or timeslot.
Adjustable to ± one timeslot; resolution = one bit
Data Clock Out (pin 7)
Pin 7 is used with an internal baseband generator. This pin relays a CMOS bit clock signal for synchronizing
serial data.
Data In (pin 23)
Pin 23 accepts an externally supplied CMOS-compatible signal data input used with digital modulation
applications. The expected input is a CMOS signal where a CMOS high is equivalent to a data 1 and a
CMOS low is equivalent to a data 0.
The maximum input data rate is 50 Mb/s. The data must be valid on the DATA CLOCK falling edges.
Symbol Sync In (pin 25)
Pin 25 accepts an externally supplied symbol sync signal for use with digital modulation applications.
Data Clock In (pin 29)
Pin 29 accepts an externally supplied CMOS-compatible signal data-clock input used with digital modulation
applications. The expected input is a MCOS bit clock signal where the rising edge is aligned with the
beginning data bit. The falling edge is used to clock the DATA and SYMBOL SYNC signals.
The maximum clock rate is 50 MHz.
Event 2 (pin 31)
Pin 31 outputs data enable signal for gating external equipment. The output is applicable when the external
data is clocked into internally generated timeslots. Data is enabled when the signal is low.
Data Out (pin 33)
Pin 33 is used with an internal baseband generator. This pin outputs data (CMOS) from the internal data
generator or the externally supplied signal at data input.
Symbol Sync Out (pin 35)
Pin 35 is used with an internal baseband generator. This pin outputs the CMOS symbol clock for symbol
synchronization, one data clock period wide.
