Position O: The entire instrument is disconnected from the AC power supply.
For details refer to Chapter 2.2.1.8, "Switching the Instrument On and Off",
on page 33.
Warm-up time for OCXO
When the instrument is switched on, the OCXO requires an extended warm-up time
(see data sheet).
LAN
The LAN interface can be used to connect the R&S FSVA/FSV to a local network for
remote control, printouts and data transfer. The assignment of the RJ-45 connector
supports twisted-pair category 5 UTP/STP cables in a star configuration (UTP stands
for unshielded twisted pair, and STP for shielded twisted pair).
MONITOR (VGA)
The female VGA connector is used to connect an external monitor. Step-by-step
instructions how to connect an external monitor are provided in Chapter 2.2.3, "Con-
necting an External Monitor", on page 36.
EXT TRIGGER / GATE IN
The female connector for external trigger/gate input is used to control the measure-
ment by means of an external signal. The voltage levels can range from 0.5 to 3.5 V.
The default value is 1.4 V. The typical input impedance is 10 kΩ.
REF IN
As a reference signal, you can either use the internal reference, or connect an external
one. The setup menu is used to switch between the internal and an external reference.
The REF IN female connector is used as an input for a 1-20 MHz reference signal. The
required input level is 0-10 dBm.
REF OUT
This connector can be used to provide an external reference signal (e.g. the OCXO or
ultra high precision reference signal) to other devices that are connected to this instru-
ment. The REF OUT female connector can output a 10 MHz reference signal with an
output level of 0 dBm.
GPIB interface
The GPIB interface is in compliance with IEEE488 and SCPI. A computer for remote
control can be connected via this interface. To set up the connection, a shielded cable
is recommended. For more details refer to chapter 7 "Remote Control Basics" in the
Operating Manual.
