5.2.1 Connectors
IEC 625/IEEE 488
Option: R&S SMAB-B86
GPIB-bus interface for remote control of the instrument.
The IEC 625 interface is in compliance with IEEE488 and SCPI. A computer for
remote control can be connected via this interface. To set up the connection, we
recommend that you use a shielded cable.
Note: To avoid electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by open lines, always
terminate any connected IEC-bus cable with an instrument or a controller.
See also "Annex: Hardware Interfaces" and chapter "Network and Remote Con-
trol" in the user manual.
USB/USB In
●
Female USB type A connector, to connect devices like a keyboard, a mouse,
a memory stick, or the R&S NRP-Z3/Z4 cable for the R&S NRP power sen-
sors
●
Female USB In connector (USB type B), for example for remote control.
Option: R&S SMAB-B86
See also Chapter 4.2, "Connecting USB Devices", on page 20.
LAN
The LAN interface can be used to connect the R&S SMA100B to a local network
for remote control, remote operation, and data transfer.
V/GHz X-Axis
Output of a voltage ramp:
●
"V / GHz": the voltage is proportional to the frequency.
●
"X-Axis": output of a voltage ramp for the X deflection of an oscilloscope or an
XY recorder.
Z-Axis
Output of a voltage pulse, e.g. for the combined blanking and marker generation
of network analyzers.
Stop
Input and output for stopping the sweep in all modes.
