Pulse Generators
Defines the source and the output of the pulse generator signals and assigns pulse generator
signals to the pulse modulators of the Extension Unit R&S ZVAX24.
The Pulse Generators dialog is opened from the ZVAX Path Configuration dialog. It provides
three panels:
 Modulator Source selects the R&S ZVA or an external pulse generator as a source for the pulse
generator signals. To use the R&S ZVA pulse generator signal, connect the CASCADE IN
connector on the rear panel of the Extension Unit to the CASCADE connector on the rear panel of
the R&S ZVA using the RJ-45 network cable supplied with the Extension Unit. The two pulse
generator signals are configured in the Channel – Mode – Define Pulse Generator dialog. To use
the signals of an external pulse generator, connect the external generator to the EXT PULSE
GENERATOR IN connectors on the rear panel of the Extension Unit. Both modulator source
signals may be connected simultaneously; see Pulse Generator Out.
 Modulator Assignment selects the pulse generator signal for each of the three pulse modulators
Src1, Rec 2, Src 3; see ZVAX Path Configuration dialog. It is possible to use a single pulse
generator signal for all three pulse modulators, or use Gen 1 for two pulse modulators, Gen 2 for
the third pulse modulator.
 Pulse Generator Out selects the pulse generator signal type which is fed to the PULSE
GENERATOR OUT connectors on the rear panel of the Extension Unit. The selection is
independent of the Modulator Source setting. If ZVA (Pulse ->1; Sync ->2) is selected, the input
signals from the CASCADE IN connector are looped through. Otherwise, the signals from EXT
PULSE GENERATOR IN are used.
The PULSE GENERATOR OUT signal can be used to control or synchronize additional external
devices. If ZVA (Pulse ->1; Sync ->2) is selected, it is possible to control an external pulse
generator by means of the R&S ZVA pulse generator signals. The output connectors are also
compatible with external pulse generators with a 50 Ω load impedance.
