Operating the N5102A Module in Output Mode
b. Press the Clock Rate softkey and enter the appropriate clock rate.
Table 17-7 provides a quick view of the settings and connections associated with each clock
source selection.
6. Press the Clock Phase softkey.
From the menu that appears, you can adjust the phase of the clock relative to the data in 90
degree increments. The selections provide a coarse adjustment for positioning the clock on the
valid portion of the data. Selecting 180 degrees is the same as selecting a negative clock
polarity.
The 90 degree and 270 degree selections are not available when the clock rate is set below 10
MHz or above 200 MHz. If 90 degrees or 270 degrees is selected when the clock rate is set
below 10 MHz or above 200 MHz, the phase will change to 0 degrees or 180 degrees,
respectively.
7. Enter the required phase adjustment.
8. Press the Return softkey to return to the clock setup menu.
9. Press the Clock Skew softkey.
This provides a fine adjustment for the clock relative to its current phase position. The skew is
a phase adjustment using increments of time. This enables greater skew adjustment capability
at higher clock rates. For clock rates below 25 MHz, this softkey is inactive.
The skew has discrete values with a range that is dependent on the clock rate. Refer to “Clock
Timing for Phase and Skew Adjustments” on page 429 for more information on skew settings.
10.Enter the skew adjustment that best positions the clock with the valid portion of the data.
