M8046A Module Components
The following figure displays the front panel of the M8046A module with its
various components:
The three or four channel configuration requires a cable (provided with
the M8046A) that connects the M8045A Sync Out to the M8046A
Sync In to synchronize the two modules to a common system clock.
The M8046A Analyzer module can also be used with an external clock
coming from CR (e.g. N1076A) or Generator output (M8045A
channel 1/2 Clock Output or M8195A/M8196A Data Output).
