The External Reference In port is a 50 Ω BNC female connector that provides for input of an
external frequency reference. Refer to your Technical Data Sheet for valid frequencies. To
prevent damage to your instrument, do not use pliers or a wrench to tighten the BNC
connector.
External Trigger In
A TTL signal that is applied to the External Trigger female BNC input connector causes a
single sweep to occur. In the Spectrum Analyzer mode, it is used in zero span, and triggering
occurs on the rising edge of the signal. After the sweep is complete, the resultant trace is
displayed until the next trigger signal arrives.
